Film Festival 2025
In 2021, 26 looted treasures traveled from France to Benin, West Africa, where they are displayed in a high-tech museum. The latest from Mati Diop (Atlantics, PSIFF 2020) is a thought-provoking, multi award-winning hybrid documentary that explores how the return of these powerful pieces is received in a country that has reinvented itself in their absence.
Congratulations to the Dahomey team on making the shortlist for Best International Feature Film for the 97th Academy Awards!
