Dyana Gaye : 2013
Under the Starry Sky
Between Turin, Dakar, and New York, Sophie, Abdoulaye and Thierno's three destinies cross paths and echo one another, delineating a constellation of exile. Sophie, 24 years old, leaves Dakar to join her husband, Abdoulaye, in Turin. Meanwhile, Abdoulaye has already left for New York through a smuggler's network. 19-year-old Thierno is travelling in Africa for the first time. With these three characters' destinies, the story takes us on a journey through the diversity of the cities the characters travel to, confronting us with the realities, hopes, and dreams of contemporary emigration. Dyana Gaye's feature premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2013, and was winner of the European Jury Award at Angers European First Film Festival 2014.
