Ndar, Saga Waalo layers Saint-Louis’s memories on screen

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

William Ousmane Mbaye’s Ndar, Saga Waalo brings residents’ voices, historical images and contemporary streets into a portrait of Saint-Louis. In his Africultures review, Olivier Barlet considers how the film and Laurence Attali’s editing resist a single account of the city, making its colonial histories, contested memories and present-day uncertainties part of a shared visual conversation.
