[HIGHLIGHTS] Cinema: the documentary “Dahomey” wins the Golden Bear at the Berlin festival

This Saturday, February 24, the Berlinale crowned a Franco-Senegalese director, Mati Diop, for a documentary. Dahomey recounts the restitution in November 2021 in Benin of 26 works looted in 1892 by French colonial troops.

This is the second African film to receive the Golden Bear, after the South African U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha by Mark Dornford-May in 2005. It succeeds the Frenchman Nicolas Philibert, Golden Bear last year.
