Co-hosted by the World Cinema Fund, this panel welcomes Alain Gomis to discuss his filmmaking practice shaped across borders, various languages, and production contexts. With his Berlinale Competition entry "Dao", Alain Gomis explores new artistic choices and the challenges of financing and positioning diasporic films that fall into neither European nor African categories. The conversation places the film within his broader journey, marked by stories of disorientation, resilience, and characters seeking belonging. It also highlights his role as a cultural leader in Senegal through the Yennenga Center in Dakar, a training and screening hub for young filmmakers, reflecting his belief in cinema as a humanist in a community-driven practice.
