Timbuktu Fasso - Fatoumata Diawara & Amine Bouhafa

Timbuktu was the closing film for the 2014 Africa film Festival.
Sold out early, so remains on my list of films to see.

    I think you are brave. The landscape is mind-expanding - the sound brilliant - the subject (as i can see, but not fully understand it) is stunning and terrifying . . .
    I admire you . . . I will also have to depend on you to see and share these things . . . Oh yes, YOU are really Brave. 2015??? I hope it holds Inspired Brilliance for YOU . . . love & love, -g-

      I'm glad you enjoyed.. and the sound is brilliant
      Thank you as always Maggid.
      I don't think I'm brave.( my mum says I am, but when she says it I think she uses it as code.. for stupid :)
      I know of many brave people though and I admire them. they inspire me to want to be better.. do better. I am committed to 'something'.. even if it's to just think of them
      I hope 2015 is an inspired and brilliant year for you too!!.. thank you so much for the blessings, Its been a tough year for many people... so I pray for better. I'm hopeful x

    The song has kind of a haunting melody. I like it. Hope the film is good, too.

    Wonderful film - a great way to increase awareness of life that is so far away from me physically ans culturally.
    Do you know what fasso means? Isee it means "upright" in Burkina Faso but is it the same?
