Costa D’avorio

Directed by Mario Fantin

Costa d’Avorio immerses us in an entirely different scenario [from Fantin's previous film] and gives us an up-close look at another one of Fantin’s interests: ethnography, which here focuses on ritual dances encountered in each village (the expedition was funded by Augusto Fantoni, the Italian king of spring mattresses).
