Leçon de cinéma avec Safi Faye

This interview was lead by Jackie Buet in the scope of the retrospective the Festival International de Films de Femmes in Créteil, a festival she founded, threw for Safi Faye in 1998, when Mossane was released in France. Safi Faye retraces her experience, that we can but admire, from her job as a teacher to her studies and her filmmaking, that she precisely evaluates. Even though the filmmaker, who always avoided festivals, may say with a slight smile that exercises are torture for her, her words are striking in their clarity and soft assurance. Humility does not exclude a certain firmness. The interview paints the portrait of an audacious women and a clear minded filmmaker. AR
