量子资源网提供本资源 <> Barefoot roadtri around Guinea in search of the first film made by a local filmmaker. A charming and cinematic adventure, where the journey and the destination are equally imortant, and a film about collective memory and orous film reels. Does a film exist if no one has seen it? Guinean film director Thierno Souleymane Diallo goes on a barefoot road tri around his country to find the mythical 1953 film ‘Mouramani’ – the first Guinean film made by a local filmmaker. But it is not easy to find the film or anyone who has seen it for that matter. Some believe it is about the Islamisation of the Mandinka eole. Others that it is about the relationshi between a dog and its owner. Along the way, Diallo asses old, abandoned cinemas and dusty iles of moisture-damaged film reels. ‘The Cemetery of Cinema’ is a charming, cinematic adventure in which the journey is almost as imortant as the destination, and where the encounters along the way remind us of the imortance of reserving a shared memory and culturel heritage.
