Moi Un Noir Film
Synopsis
Moi un Noir is a film that narrates the story of immigrants of Niger. This film is set in an
ordinary week where the men and women of Niger leave their country to Abidjan, a city of Ivory
Coast. The reason for these people to leave their country is to search for a job. These immigrants
of Niger settles in the resentful border of the Plateau, the industrial and the business district, and
the ancient African part of Adjame commonly referred to as Treichville. These young men and
women include the Oumarou Ganda, whose nickname is G. Edward Robinson a pseudonym
which he adopts as a result of his veneration of the eponymous movie star, Alassane Maiga
nicknamed as Tarzan, Karidyo Daudou portrayed as Petit Jules, Amadou Demba whose acting
name was Elite, Petit Toure named in the movie as Eddie Constantine and Seydou Guede
describing himself as Postman. This movie dashes back to a week in the lives of these young
ladies and gentlemen of Niger, obscuring the line between the routines of their characters as well
as their own. Each day in the morning, Tarzan Edward G. Robinson along with the character
Eddy Constantine go to look for a job in the Treichville hoping that they will get the 20 francs to

aid in their living. These characters perform the unskilled activities as the Dockers carrying sacks
together with handy labor transporting goods to Europe.
At night, they take alcohol in the bars with the aim of taking away their sorrows while holding
their dreams concerning the idealized lives. They depict this perfectness in their “movie” alteregos, also commonly known as the FBI agent, a successful boxer, and even capable of rising up
against the white colonialists who seduce their women away. All of these perceived dream-like
sequences are displayed shortly in a poetic mode. Every dawn is ushered with an interstitial
voice of the god omniscient story from Jean Rouch, rendering an inclusive thematic separation to
the events of the movie. The movie is summarized by a narration directed at both the audience
from Edward G Robinson and Petit Jules tenderly focusing back on his childhood experiences
while in Niger and thus concluding that his life is sufficiently worthy of his dreams.
Historical Context
This movie was brought to the public amid the decolonization of the Niger. Moi un Noir carries a
disputably strong impeachment of the pervasive behavior of the Western culture on the psyche of
Africans. The editing of this film juxtaposes African descriptions of the Western nature around
the Treichville with their tenacious influence on the dream lives of the subject. As Jean Rouch, a
Frenchman was insignificantly aware of the massive cultural weight rested upon him in the hard
life for the immigrants of Niger.
Moi un Noir Filming
The process for recording and shooting Moi un noir video was quite bizarre. Rouch Jean spent
nine months together with his colleagues and let them narrate their individual stories in a much
unique manner while criticizing the laws of the land. While Rouch was preparing for this film, he

did not set a specific idea. He preferred the capturing of the most significant possible footage to
design a narrative with his ethnographic subjects. Most of the sequences in videotape were
collected by chance during the continuously long recordings.
During footage, Rouch was perplexedly flabbergasted as for how greater his ethnographic
subjects were much ready to disclose their life aspirations along with their dreams. His found
that his lively camera rendered him a passport into autonomy, enabling him to go through the
circles he had not thought of improving. Subsequently, he availed his frivolous sixteen
millimeter Kodachrome camera into all the social setting. When Rouch and his subjects
conceded that they had collected enough clips, they recorded that dialogue in a studio in Musee
de I’Homme situated in the capital of France. In this recording, Rough covered over ambient
noise captured around Abidjan. All these asynchronous effects of sound originating from the
actual limitations added in the ‘dream-like’ environment of several sequences in the videotape.
