About

Gavagai screens at Ciné Lumière as part of the French Film Festival London. Ulrich Köhler's sixth feature stars Nathalie Richard and Jean-Christophe Folly. On the set of a turbulent Medea adaptation in Senegal, Maja begins an affair with her co-star Nourou. Months later, controversy over its European perspective on a former colony and a racist incident unsettles their reunion for the film's premiere. As an ancient tragedy unfolds on screen, a contemporary drama exposes tensions around race, power and filmmaking.
