On the 22nd of April at 19.30, a special evening dedicated to the filmmaker and anthropologist Jean Rouch will take place at the Nederlande Film Academie in Amsterdam, as part of the 4th edition of Festival Film & Science. His famous documentary “Cocorico Monsieur Poulet” will be screened, in the presence of filmmakers Jérôme Blumberg and Steef Meyknecht who has known him personally. Jean Rouch was among the first to make use of the docufiction method storytelling in film and is a pionner of ethnofiction. His work is closely tied with Africa where he directed ethnographic films for over sixty years, specifically in Niger where he is generally considered the father of Nigerian cinema.
