Alain Kassanda's films within a film club within a film now streaming ONLY on OVID 🎞️

est-ce Dahomey et Coconut Head Generation sont les premiers longs-métrages à utiliser l’écriture inclusive pour leurs sous-titres ? l’impression d’en avoir encore jamais vu avant eux 💭

I recently saw Alain Kassanda's documentary, Coconut Head Generation, and was moved by its succinct portrayal of subtleties in higher education in Nigeria. I shared my reflections on this thought-provoking documentary in a review for @AfriqueXXI

I could say a lot about this but I don't know where to start.

There's this film called "Colette & Justin" by Alain Kassanda, it's very relevant to this discussion.

There's this conversation the filmmaker has with his grandparents, whose memories he undertook to document...

[Ajímátí Films @AjimatiFilms]

@kagoma_flies We @AjimatiFilms are the production team in France, and the film is distributed in the US by @IcarusFilms 😉
