#Dahomey est diffusé ce soir sur Arte.
Mati Diop a toujours filmé des fantômes. À l'occasion de la « restitution » par la France de vingt-six statues au Bénin, elle décide, dans Dahomey, de les faire parler pour installer un contre-récit sur la colonisation, contre la mort d'un peuple, sa culture, son histoire, cette mort qui n'a jamais cessé de faire sentir sa poigne.

Due film con riferimento africano, "Pepe" di Arias e "Dahomey" di Mati Diop decostruiscono l'immagine occidentale dell'animale e della regalità africana, riattivando il ruolo del mito e del rito contro le visioni speciste e coloniali. Nella stessa direzione va "O abismu" di R. Sganzerla, che ci invita a riappropriarci della cultura indigena espropriata dal colonialismo europeo

"The repatriation is both an apology for the destruction caused by #FrenchColonialism and a reassertion of its power. It is a reclamation of meaningful cultural objects and a funeral for a culture that no longer exists. It is a joyful celebration and a savage insult."
