Chris Marker
Before the colonies' independence, few anti-colonial films were produced. Examples included Statues Also Die ("Les statues meurent aussi") by Chris Marker and Alain Resnais, about European theft of African art. The second part of this film was for 10 years banned in France.) "Afrique 50" by René Vautier, showed anti-colonial riots in Côte d'Ivoire and in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso).
