Aujourd’hui, l'énergie hydraulique est la troisième source de production d’électricité dans le monde, et la première source d’origine renouvelable. Les barrages hydroélectriques répondent donc à des besoins essentiels, mais leur impact environnemental continue à faire débat. Le Dessous des Cartes s’intéresse à deux cas de figure, différents, l’un en Turquie, l’autre au Niger.

Les films de Jean Rouch, archives uniques sur l’Afrique, petits bijoux pour les cinéphiles, sont aussi des contes qui mettent en scène des histoires toutes simples - la chasse, le voyage, l’amour et la mort, l’apprentissage et l’amitié - à la portée universelle. Certains films relèvent de la tradition anthropologique pure, d’autres de la fiction humoristique. Des thématiques (« Ciné-Transe », « Ciné-Conte », « Ciné-Plaisir » et « Ciné-Rencontre ») permettent de mieux appréhender la diversité, le foisonnement de l’œuvre Rouchienne. Des « viatiques », ou courtes introductions, dits par Bernard Surugue, replacent succinctement chaque film dans son histoire.

Rain the Color of Blue with a Little Red in It

Rain the Color of Blue with a Little Red in It (2015)
Prince goes Sahel in this colorful homage to Purple Rain. Set among the sub-Saharan Tuareg people, and reputedly the first feature film in their Tamashek language (which has no word for "purple," hence the title). Resplendent in a purple robe and matching chopper, smoking hot guitarist Mdou Moctar arrives in a music-mad Niger town and sets about wooing a local beauty, clashing with his pious father, and fencing with the jealous king of the local scene (Kader Tanoutanoute, as wily and dapper as Morris Day) until their climactic six-string shootout.
