Berlinale: Documentary film ‘Dahomey’ wins Golden Bear. Mati Diop accompanies the return of art treasures stolen from Africa.
The filmmaker with Senegalese roots is now receiving the most important prize at the Berlinale. For this, he accompanies 26 statues on their journey from France to their country of origin, today's Benin. The experimental documentary film captivates with poetic passages - for example, one of the art looted treasures speaks off-screen several times.
