Burkina Faso - African Film Festival at Ouagadougou
Burkina Faso - African Film Festival at Ouagadougou
February 1995 A million people attended the 25th Pan-African Film Festival (FESPACO) in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. It is Africa's most important cultural event, second only to the annual soccer championships. Winnie Mandela and other leading African lights are expected to attend. South Africa takes part officially for the first time. Watch a film in an African city and the chances are it will be open-air with giant insects swooping overhead and an enthusiastic audience shouting encouragement at the screen. In a continent with an illiterate majority and few televisions, the importance of cinema cannot be ignored. It has become a source of great national pride, and for many it is helping to re-establish a post-colonial cultural identity. 1995 is the international centenary of cinema, and in commemoration FESPACO is opening the first ever African film archive.

Hunter's Harp Burkina Faso
Hunter's Harp Burkina Faso
The hunter's harp is variously described as a harp-lute or calabash harp. It originates in West Africa and may be a source of the banjo. Different names reflect their physical variations, tunings, and regional associations. Kora and ngoni are well known names. Donsongoni, simbin, and kamalengoni name other types of calabash harps. The ones seen here are found in southwestern Burkina Faso and may have a different name. If you have knowledge of the name of these instruments, please post a comment here.

Burkina Faso: When Darkness Falls / Spirit of Humanity
Burkina Faso: When Darkness Falls / Spirit of Humanity
I was invited by the American Society of Media Photographers (Washington, DC chapter) on January 11, 2011 to give a presentation during their 8x10 Program. I've had a lot of requests by people outside the area or who weren't able to make the program to post the presentation online. So here it is! I spent the month of November 2010 in Burkina Faso, which is a small country in the heart of West Africa. My focus was on photographing the lifestyle of the Fulani people.The Fulani are one of the ethnic groups that are found in multiple countries in West Africa because they're on the move every season in search of green pastures and fresh water for their cattle. I've been interested in the Fulani for the past fifteen years, since I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Niger and lived for several years in a small Fulani village of 40 people. This evening, I'm going to show you two collections of images. Everything you see tonight except for maybe 5 images are from my November trip; the other 5 or so images are from my 2007 trip to Burkina, but I couldn't resist including them. And 99% of the images are also taken in rural Burkina Faso - in the north - in the heart of Fulani territory. All of the music that you hear in the background is traditional Fulani music that I recorded in the field. Part 1: When Darkness Falls So, you may never have heard of Burkina Faso. It's a little-known country in the heart of W. Africa, and in Burkina, 12.4 million people live without electricity <b>...</b>

Rabies: 120 Years After Pasteur 1/2
Rabies: 120 Years After Pasteur 1/2
This movie was possible thanks to the support and collaboration of rabies experts facing the disease in endemic area and at international level. It was shot in Asia (Thailand) and Africa (Burkina Faso and Senegal) and intent to show the daily life of school-age children in close contact with potentially rabid animals. It is interspersed with interviews of rabies specialists describing the disease, its burden, post-exposure measures, vaccination, rabies initiatives and perspectives. The main objective is to raise the global awareness on rabies and educate the lay public about rabies risk and its prevention, making a movie accessible even for people with no scientific knowledge.

RABIES, 120 years after Pasteur. Part 1/3
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Daniela is gently roused for school. Nong Khai, northeast Thailand, a loving mother prepares breakfast for Bess and her little sister Madee. In the collective unconscious, Louis Pasteur discovered vaccination when he saved a young shepherd, who had been bitten by a rabid dog, from certain death. A grim assessment: 120 years later, rabies still kills. Dr. Diop: Rabies is a zoonotic disease, meaning present in humans and animals. In humans, it takes the form of an acute encephalomyelitis. The rabies virus makes it deadly. First Rabies follows expose, usually exposure usually from dogs and cats. We can say that dogs are the main reservoir and the main transmitting vectors since as many as 97% of the cases are caused by infected dogs. Dr. Rigobert: Rabies symptoms in humans: it is an infectious disease so fever and other general manifestations, like headaches, are present. But the classical sign of rabies is hydrophobia, or fear of water. There are other clinical forms, such as the paralytic form, in which the lower extremities are paralyzed. In its furious form, there are signs of acute mania and the patient may even attack medical personnel. Second The evolution of the disease: we can say that it starts first with the incubation period. This period means that the virus does not do anything; it just remains at the site of inoculation. And during this period of time we can prevent the disease. We can give the vaccination and we can give the rabies <b>...</b>

Mooladé Introduction and Post-Screening Panel Discussion on Filmmaker Ousmane Sembene
Mooladé Introduction and Post-Screening Panel Discussion on Filmmaker Ousmane Sembene
Part of the Walker Art Center film series Ousmane Sembene: African Stories. Panel Discussion leaders: Patricia Lorcin (Department of History, University of Minnesota); Sheryl Mousley (Curator, film/video department, Walker Art Center); John Mowitt (professor of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature, University of Minnesota), Charles Sugnet (associate professor, English department, University of Minnesota); and Joëlle Vitiello (professor of French and Francophone Studies, Macalester College). Film description: Fatoumata Coulibaly plays Collé, a courageous mother in a small Burkina Faso village who refused "circumcision" (genital cutting) for her daughter, and subsequently is asked for help by girls who want to be spared. When Collé sets up a magical line of protection for the girls at her home, the village descends into chaos. Winner of Cannes' Un Certain Regard prize, Sembene's last feature was an unusual excursion outside of Senegal. "A film of politics and anger, and also a film of beauty, humor, and a deep affection for human nature."—Roger Ebert

RABIES, 120 years after Pasteur. Part 2/3
RABIES, 120 years after Pasteur. Part 2/3
Dr. Rigobert: Rabies is still a public health issue in our countries, particularly in Burkina Faso because many people are attacked. At our two rabies treatment centers in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso combined, we count 4000 attacks each year. Of these 4000 attacks, about 2500 people are treated for rabies. But there are many more attacks in rural areas. Rabies treatment centers are too far away, so people dont come. The actual number is probably closer to 40000. Fifth In many countries, rabies is not a reportable disease and in fact it is misdiagnosed often because people dont think about rabies. Or perhaps its diagnosed as another encephalitic disease, like cerebral malaria, or something like that, when in fact, the person actually is infected and died of rabies. Dr. Tordo: Human rabies treatment is very simple. Vaccination is the only one that is truly effective. There are two types of vaccination: one is preventive and the other is given after exposure to a rabid dog. But the same mechanism works in both cases. Preventive vaccination, like post-exposure vaccination, allows the body to generate antibodies. Their purpose is to neutralize the virus before it infects the nervous system and causes death. Massive preventive vaccination in endemic countries is difficult for two reasons. The populations are large and, with three injections, the protocol is fairly complex. Scientists are working to simplify the system, but are still in the research stage. Voiceover: Although <b>...</b>
