Overview

Hyènes [Hyenas]

Dir. Djibril Diop Mambéty, 1992, Senegal, France, Switzerland, UK, Netherlands, Italy

Due to popular demand we have added a second screening of Hyènes [Hyenas].

Hyènes is an adaptation of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s tragicomic play The Visit (1956), with added criticism of neocolonialism and consumerism in Senegal. A wealthy patron visits the near-bankrupt town of Colobane and offers to make the townspeople rich, in exchange for the life of a popular shopkeeper.
