version of the film was originally broadcast on Bravo! on March

regularly.
Premiered
at the Montreal World Film Festival (Aug/08)

Bravo
Channel
There are 2 versions of the film. The shorter version (48 minutes)
is being shown on Bravo. The full-length feature version (90 minutes)
will be coming to a theatre and film festival near you at a later
date (see Aug 27-29/08 'shows' at Montreal World Film Festival).
Two short clips of video (of Bamako street scenes and of our arrival
in the village of Baleya) can be seen by clicking on the two pictures
at the bottom of this
page. |
'Road
to Baleya' is a feature documentary film in which Canadian
and Malian musicians come together on a journey of musical collaboration
and friendship in Mali, West Africa. Produced by award winning Canadian
filmmaker Bay Weyman (Spirits of Havana), it follows the interactions
between Malian griot Mansa
Sissoko and Canadian musicians Lewis Melville, Dave
Clark, Dale Morningstar and Tannis Slimmon as they travel to Mansa’s
home village of Baleya. The film explores themes of music as a path
to social and economic development, and intersects with the very
personal toll exacted by malaria in one of the poorest countries
in the world. |
