Ouagadougou – Portraits of Gods (1992) explores contemporary Burkina Faso through the intertwined journeys of two Burkinabè men and a Belgian painter. As Christianity, Islam, and ancestral beliefs coexist in everyday life, the film reveals how the sacred is woven into ordinary existence. Blending intimate observation with visual portraiture, Benoît Lamy offers a poetic reflection on identity, spirituality, and the invisible forces that shape human lives.
