The Tournées Festival - 'Lili et le Baobab'

Freelance photographer Lili (Romane Bohringer) has been hired to document new infrastructures in her town's sister community in Senegal. The entire village turns out to welcome her, their affection immediate and genuine. She focuses her camera on the villagers and their profoundly communal existence, and her photography becomes a means of communication and a salve for her own isolation.

Admission is free. The Tournées Festival: French Films on the CLU Campus is made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the French Ministry of Culture. The Tournées Festival is sponsored by the Florence Gould Foundation, the Grand Marnier Foundation and highbrow entertainment. All films are subtitled in English.
