On a le Temps Pour Nous

synopsis

Burkina Faso, octobre 2014 Ce que beaucoup n'avaient pas osé imaginer s'est produit Le peuple burkinabé a mis fin au règne de Blaise Compaoré Le rappeur Smockey, membre du Balai Citoyen, est l'un des artisans de ce changement, de la victoire de l'utopie sur la réalité Aujourd'hui, après l'insurrection, le putsch manqué et l'organisation d'élections libres, les comptes du régime déchu sont réglés et les attentes comblées. Le temps joue en notre faveur nous fait entrer dans le quotidien de Smockey, au plus près d'un personnage rebelle et attachant qui trace un chemin entre militantisme et rencontres artistiques ; entre inquiétudes nourries d'un présent flottant et espoirs renouvelés.

Katy Léna N’diaye, born in 1968, is a Senegalese-French documentary filmmaker, best known for her documentaries about women muralists in Africa. Born in Senegal, N’diaye grew up in Europe. She studied modern literature in Paris, and undertook further study in broadcast journalism. She has worked as a journalist for TV5 Monde and RTBF, and lives in Brussels, Belgium. N’diaye’s documentary Traces – characterized by Elvis Mitchell in the New York Times as “visually sharp and lovingly informal” – focussed on mural painting by Kassena women in Burkina Faso. In the documentary, three elderly women explain the content of the murals covering the reddish-clay huts to Anetina, a young unmarried woman. Awaiting for Men documented three older women talking as they painted the town wall in Oualata, an oasis town on the edge of the Sahara Desert in southeast Mauritania. Parallel to her career as a filmmaker, Katy Léna Ndiaye works for television as well. From 2000 to 2018, she presented and later directed Reflets Sud and Afrique Plurielle CIRTEF productions, broadcast on TV5 Monde and the Belgian RTBF. Since 2013, she has been running Indigo Mood Films, a production company based in Senegal.
