Synopsis
The Cemetery of the Movies (Au cimetière de la pellicule) is a deeply moving documentary by Guinean director Thierno Souleymane Diallo. The film centers on Mouramani, the first film in French-speaking Africa, directed by Mamadou Touré in 1953, whose whereabouts are unknown. In search of this lost video memory, the director travels barefoot and with a camera on his back through the Guinean countryside, abandoned theaters and crumbling archives, and even all the way to the French archives. Through chance encounters on the road, the testimonies of old fans and film professionals, and reflections on the meaning of "watching movies" and "making movies", the film gradually outlines the faults of Guinean film history and the journey of tracing cultural identity. In the film, the director is the recorder and also a part of history, gently but toughly evoking respect for the forgotten art of cinema and the desire for culture.
The protagonist of the story lives in a time when movies are gradually being forgotten and he is determined to dig up and preserve those abandoned films and video materials.In the process, he not only has to face technical and financial difficulties, but also conflicts with his family, community, and traditional attitudes.The movie shows the importance of movies as a carrier of cultural memory through delicate emotional depictions and realistic social backgrounds.
Blending elements of drama and cultural documentary, Graveyard of Films is a profound reflection on the relationship between the art of cinema and social change.The film not only focuses on the preservation of cinema, but also explores how local culture can find its place in modern society amidst the wave of globalization.
