Franco-Senegalese director Ramata-Toulaye Sy has made it to Cannes with her first feature length film.<\/p>\n

She wrote the script for “Banel et Adama” back in 2014 when she was a student at the film school F\u00e9mis and only filmed it years later in a rural village in northern Senegal.<\/p>\n

Although she was born, raised and studied in France, Sy said she felt the need to make her first film in Senegal.<\/p>\n

And she also choose to shoot entirely in the Pulaar language with non-professional actors who had been selected locally.<\/p>\n
