Phillippe Lacote

Philippe Lacôte’s work as a filmmaker has taken on several forms, before focusing in 2002 on the recent history of his country with Chronicles of War in the Ivory Coast, a film verging between documentary and diary. It was followed by the feature film Run, the story of a wandering madman, selected for Un Certain Regard at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. His second feature Night of the Kings, which premiered at the 2020 Venice Film Festival, is a dive into the largest prison in West Africa, during a night of red moon. (Ivory Coast)
