Still from Cabascabo. Directed by Oumarou Ganda (1968/69). Courtesy of Argos FilmsNiger. Cabascabo, an African veteran of the French colonial army in Indochina, has returned to Niger. He has squandered his fortune on an easy life in Niamey. Now a simple labourer, he sees the episodes of his life pass by.Ganda was then an assistant director in the Culture & Cinema group, founded in Niamey, under the aegis of the Franco-Nigerian Cultural Center. He thus obtained the means to shoot his first film, Cabascabo, a medium-length film of which he was the author, director and principal actor. The rigor and simplicity of the cutting, which alternates Cabascabo’s wanderings and work in Niamey with scenes he has lived through, and the effectiveness of a black and white image that excludes all spectacularity, explain, along with Ganda’s own interpretation of the character of Cabascabo, the place that the author immediately took in Niger.
