9th Trip
|
|
August 2000, The last journey
|
 |
The rainy season. It’s hot and humid. Ouidah has changed. The main street from the cathedral, past the snake temple, to the museum square has been paved.
It’s like visiting an old lover and suddenly finding a photograph of her new lover above the bed.
And reality has got you again. There are only very few shots I’d like to film again. Things from my memory, important to me in the film.
Everyone’s very nice. Gounon has become a man, yet I sense that it doesn’t work anymore.
I can’t replace missing pictures.
Luckily.
Although they like my money, their naturalness in front of the camera is lost. It all looks artificial, posed.
Now, for the first time, I realise the value of the footage we shot before. Our film is a document about the people of Voodoo, as irretrievable as innocence. |
