At the Alliance Française in Lagos, on the sidelines of the Forum Création Africa, the Institut français invites participants to an evening at the Cinémathèque Afrique. On the programme: Bal poussière by Henri Duparc, a cult Ivorian comedy made in 1989 and restored in 2021. The film humorously and tenderly recounts the misadventures of Demi-Dieu, a wealthy polygamous farmer who, despite already having five wives, decides to marry a sixth. A joyful and critical fresco of the shortcomings of Ivorian society in the 1980s, Bal poussière remains a classic of African cinema, celebrated for its freedom of tone and modernity. The screening will be followed by a cocktail reception.
Shuttle transportation will be provided for Forum Création Africa delegates, departing from the Federal Palace and Eko Atlantic hotels
