Anne-Laure Folly Reimann
Born in Togo, Anne-Laure Folly Reimann worked for a long time as a legal advisor for UNESCO after studying law in Paris. She then began making films in the early 1990s. Self-taught, her work was strongly inspired by the Antillean filmmaker Sarah Maldoror, as well as that of the Senegalese filmmaker and ethnologist Safi Faye. She divides her time between filmmaking and a career as an international lawyer specializing in African issues. She has directed around twenty socio-political documentaries in Africa that have received numerous awards. Between 1997 and 2006, she was elected to the board of FEPACI, the Pan African Federation of Filmmakers.
