Jean-Pierre Dikongué-Pipa

Jean-Pierre Dikongué-Pipa was born in 1940 in Cameroon. After secondary school in France, he studied cinema at the Conservatoire libre du cinéma français from 1962 to 1964, then shot three documentaries in 1965 and 1966 that have remained unseen. His first feature film, in 1975, is also the first of his country; from 1978 to 1987 there followed fiction films and documentaries, including a musical film and a chronicle of a book fair in Zimbabwe. A playwright and writer as much as a filmmaker, he explores the links between traditional Cameroonian culture and the rest of the world.
