“Most of the time there is no work in East Africa. Some years ago, we made a very short 35 mm movie backed by South Africa. That was the only one. Normally, I travel to South Africa, to Zimbabwe or to West Africa, which has ties with France – there are a lot of directors living in France, in Paris, which makes it a little bit easier for them to get funding – so I work in Burkina Faso, in Chad, in Niger. I have to leave my region and go south or west and occasionally to central Africa.”
