David-Pierre Fila may be quietly seated in his 68 years, he can appear and disappear in a second and from one bank to another, leave the Congo River, find himself on the Mirabeau Bridge (where the Seine flows) .
Fila spinning in the English way, that’s the style, heading for a thousand and one lives. That of a physiotherapist, an anthropology student, a fashion photographer… (ah, we’re burning, it’s Brazza’s fire talking) yes, one fine day we come to the cap of director/cinema producer. With a film which fights against a world without Africa and which denounces the cha cha dependencies of African cinema killed by aid from the West. I quote the gentleman who returns to us from Ecuador, arms full of chocolates and some of his documentaries (Mweze, The Last of the Babingas, The sapper, Tala tala).
