Moustapha Alassane, Cineaste of the Possible Synopsis

Moustapha Alassane is a living legend in African cinema. His adventures take us to the era of “pre-cinema”, to the times of magical lantern and Chinese shadows. He is the first director of Nigerien cinema and animation films in Africa. He tells very old stories with current technology, but he also narrates the most current events with the most archaic means. This documentary not only tells the adventure of a human being and an extraordinary professional, but the memories of a generation, the history of a country, Niger, in its golden age of cinema.

Moustapha Alassane, Cineaste of the Possible (2008) is a documentary film directed by Christian Lelong, released on October 12, 2008 with a runtime of 1h 33m. It stars Moustapha Alassane.
