After studying communication, he was a programmer for an arthouse cinema in a suburb of Paris for five years before moving to Ibadan in southwestern Nigeria from 2015 to 2019. There he directed TROUBLE SLEEP. The medium-length film won the Golden Dove for Best Film at the Dok Leipzig 2020 festival and the Special Jury Mention at the Visions du r\u00e9el festival. It was followed by COLETTE AND JUSTIN, a feature film that interweaves his family history and the story of the decolonisation of the Congo. The film was part of the international competition of IDFA 2022. COCONUT HEAD GENERATION is his third film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
