About the Event

WHERE ZEBUS SPEAK FRENCH

R: Nantenaina Lova; Madagaskar/FR/DE/Burkina Faso 2023; OmeU; DCP; 103 min. 

Unweit von Antananarivo sind die Bewohner:innen des Dorfes Sitabaomba von Vertreibung bedroht. Das fruchtbare Land, auf dem sie leben und arbeiten, ist nun von der herrschenden Klasse, von multinationalen Unternehmen und ausländischen Investoren begehrt. Mehrere Jahre lang begleitete der Filmemacher Nantenaina Lova die Anstrengungen der Dorfbewohner:innen zur Verteidigung ihres Ackerlands. Der Dokumentarfilm WHERE ZEBUS SPEAK FRENCH zeigt den Kampf gegen Neokolonialismus und Korruption in einem Land, in dem das Erbe des Kolonialismus so tief sitzt, dass sogar die lokalen Zugtiere – die Zebus – gelernt haben, ihre Befehle auf Französisch entgegenzunehmen.

Kooperation: Allerweltskino

 

Not far from Antananarivo, the inhabitants of the village of Sitabaomba are threatened with eviction. The fertile land on which they live and work is now coveted by the ruling class, multinationals and foreign investors. Filmmaker Nantenaina Lova follows the struggle of the villagers to defend their farmland over several years. The documentary WHERE ZEBUS SPEAK FRENCH reveals the struggle against neo-colonialism and corruption in a country where the legacy of colonialism runs so deep that even the local draught animals – the zebus – have learned to take their orders in French.
