Mamadou Khouma Gueye

After studying history at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, Senegal, Mamadou Khouma Gueye became an activist for access to cinema for the population of the Dakar suburbs before moving on to directing. Playing with the collective energy of his generation to produce and distribute their films, he has always defended the idea that art must make room for ordinary people, and participate in the representation and awareness of sometimes difficult social and political realities. He is also an image educator and divides his time between Guinaw Rails and Nantes. Founder and active member of the association Plan B Films, he intervenes in France in film education for the association Makiz'art, Stereolux, the CinéCréatis School and the University of Nantes. He is also a cameraman, fixer and assistant on both cinematographic and artistic projects.
