Directors and Filmmakers

Djibril Diop Mambéty was a Senegalese film director, actor, orator, composer and poet who lived from 23 January 1945 to 23 July 1998. Though he made only five feature films and two short documentary films, they received international acclaim for their original and experimental technique and their non-linear, unconventional narrative style. Born to a Muslim family near Dakar, he was an ethnic Wolof, and his film Touki Bouki is listed here as a work.
