Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent “Dahomey,” a documentary directed by Cannes prizewinner Mati Diop (“Atlantique”) and slated for the Berlinale competition, will be represented internationally by Paris-based Les Films du Losange.
The feature marks the directorial comeback of the French-Senegalese talent after winning the Grand Prize at Cannes with “Atlantique” in 2019.
Diop, who is also a well-known actor (“Fire”), is considered one of the leading lights in a new wave of African and diaspora cinema.
In “Dahomey,” Diop explores the issue of colonization through the story of precious artworks restituted to Benin in November 2021 after being stolen by French colonizers in 1892, when the African country was called the Kingdom of Dahomey.
