In collaboration with Senegalese-born, Melbourne-based artist Lamine Sonko and Speak Percussion, Before Nightfall 12 : Heynas presents a reimagined score for the famed Senegalese film Hyenas, which has been restored and recut to short format for this extraordinary cinematic experience.
Directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty, the 1992 film Hyenas tells the story of a woman who returns with vengeful intent to the poverty-stricken town that shunned her for falling pregnant out of wedlock.
