Siskoid commented on Bye Bye Africa 3 minutes agoPart fiction, part documentary, Bye Bye Africa has its director, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, as himself, returning to Chad after ten years and finding his origin country worse off than when he left it, especially as it pertains to cinema. It's not just that films aren't made there (or distributed when they are), but even the theaters have shut down and the populace has a contentious relationship with image-making and differentiating fact from fiction on screen. All of this justifies Haroun's hybridization, but also the film's technical imperfections (the sound is incredibly messy, for example). It is a product of the environment in which it was made. Chad's problems - and by extension, much of Africa's - stem from war-torn infrastructure and poverty. Cinema cannot be maintained without money. So this is a portrait of a society without film, or at least, film in which it can see itself reflected. Very often, I've found, documentary is the chosen form in cultures/areas where the means of production and distribution are lacking. Because "showing us ourselves" is more important than escapism at that stage. Haroun gets his fictions thrown in his face several times in Bye Bye Africa, as he turns in a personal meditation on what responsibilities he has as a film maker to his audience, his collaborators, his country and his culture, whether in exile or not. The transcendent moment, for me, was an actress shouting about being a real person and not a character. The film lives at that intersection.
