Biography
Biography
Between 1992 and 1996 he directed three short movies: Eternité moins cinq, Camilio and La femme à l'ombrelle. He has written screenplays for television and film since 2003. His first full-length feature film was Rêves de poussière (Dreams of Dust - 2007). The film was a France and Canada co-production between Athénaïse – Sophie Salbot and Corporation ACPAV inc. – Marc Daigle. The associate producer was Sékou Traoré of the Burkina Faso company Sahelis Productions. Rêves de poussière tells of Mocktar Dicko, a Nigerien peasant, who goes to look for work in a gold mine in northeastern Burkina Faso. He hopes to forget the past in this prison, where the bars are made of dust and wind. A reviewer says the "opening shot reminds you of a choreographed musical—only there is no music, only silence and the sounds of workers’ tools". Another critic says "Cinematographed by Crystel Fournier, images are hauntingly dreamlike. Wind-swept dust is a recurrent motif".
