Mini
dv / 8 min / mute / English subtitles / colour / Pal / Senegal / 2003.
The scene
takes place in a taxi, a conversation has already begun.
The driver tells about his childhood at the Koran school, where the
children are entirely dependant on the Imam (they beg for money in the
streets). In exchange the children have a place to live, a strictly koranic
education, and the possibility to become an Imam themselves, and the same
circle continues.
The construction of the form of the film is similar to
its content, itÕs conceived as a loop.
