Ensuite, il retrace l&rsquo;histoire des pionniers du secteur culturel dans une d\u00e9marche de promotion du savoir-faire tut\u00e9laire et de transmission d&rsquo;une science qui r\u00e9siste \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9preuve du temps. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L&rsquo;histoire est racont\u00e9e en quatre actes dissociables par quatre \u00ab fous \u00bb qui, au fil de leurs promenades quotidiennes, nous font d\u00e9couvrir les diff\u00e9rents secteurs de la culture qui est n\u00e9glig\u00e9e dans de nombreux pays africains. Au Mali, il suffit d&rsquo;analyser les cr\u00e9dits qui lui sont allou\u00e9s dans le budget national pour constater que le discours proclam\u00e9 avec conviction par les responsables politiques est en d\u00e9calage avec la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Ainsi, notre approche consiste \u00e0 choquer les consciences, celles des d\u00e9cideurs et des professionnels de la culture, dans une d\u00e9marche \u00e9ducative et sociologique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This documentary aims to use cinema to preserve Mali&rsquo;s cultural heritage and promote community resilience. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By linking the past and the present, it shows what culture represents in the collective imagination of Mali&rsquo;s people. It then traces the history of pioneers in the cultural sector in an effort to promote traditional know-how and pass on knowledge that stands the test of time. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story is told in four separate acts by four \u201cfools\u201d who, during their daily walks, introduce us to the different sectors of culture that are neglected in many African countries. In Mali, one need only analyze the funds allocated to culture in the national budget to see that the rhetoric proclaimed with conviction by politicians is out of step with reality. Our approach, therefore, is to shock the conscience of decision-makers and cultural professionals through an educational and sociological approach.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-112872 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Poster-f7884cac4b-poster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"579\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Poster-f7884cac4b-poster.jpg 579w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Poster-f7884cac4b-poster-320x442.jpg 320w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Poster-f7884cac4b-poster-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Poster-f7884cac4b-poster-350x484.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-112870 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW-1200x633.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW-1200x633.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW-320x169.jpg 320w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW-1536x810.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW-350x185.jpg 350w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-4-Fousseyni_MAIGA_FATOW.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-112871 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001-1200x633.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001-1200x633.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001-320x169.jpg 320w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001-1536x810.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001-350x185.jpg 350w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Photo-9-Sequence_Fou_4.00_00_49_16.Still001.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R\u00e9alisateur(trice)\/Director: Fousseyni MAIGA Dur\u00e9e\/Length: 01:30:18 Genre: Long-m\u00e9trage, documentaire\/Feature, documentary Origin: Mali\/Mali &nbsp;
