THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Olivier Barlet surveys the young sub-Saharan African documentary programme at Lussas, following films that connect personal experience with wider histories. His account moves from colonial archives and extraction to contemporary streets and rural communities, considering how observation, performance and autobiographical approaches reshape the representation of place, memory and everyday life across the continent.
