Baye Fall Namanala (2024) + Eng sub

Baye Fall Namanala is a dreamlike audiovisual journey exploring the devotional music and dancing of a Sufi Islamic sub-sect called Baye Fall in Senegal. Shot entirely on VHS, and blurring the lines between the past and the present, this intimate and experimental ethnomusicology film depicts the rich spiritual landscape of the West African nation and the importance of creating a safe space where inhibitions are abandoned, bodies feel no pain and the sounds put you in a trance-like state of mind – all of which is believed to bring one closer to the Divine. English title: Baye Fall I Miss You Directed by Adelina Sasnauskaite & Chiara Baima Poma Co-produced with Amdy Kunta Duration 59’ | Wolof with English subtitles
