About INTERIEURS DU DELTA - Sylvain L’Esperance (interview)

The life of a community of fishermen going through some delicate times, with the rising up of the oil price and the difficulty to preserve traditions. Nearby the Niger flows placidly and magnificently. It reflects the grandeur of a nature that stands out with all its impetuousness in one of the most memorable night scenes. In-between narration and poetry this film follows the rhythm of a dialogue. A dialogue between two persons, between a place and its people, between a filmmaker and its audience.
