Description
Fantôme Créole is a four-screen film installation that juxtaposes Arctic and African landscapes as it combines two films: True North, filmed in the Artic landscapes of Iceland, and Fantôme Afrique, filmed in Burkina Faso. Fantôme Créole juxtaposes Arctic and African landscapes as it combines two films: True North (2004), loosely based on the story of black explorer Matthew Henson (1866-1955), who accompanied Robert Peary in a pioneering expedition to the North Pole; and Fantôme Afrique (2005), shot in Burkina Faso.
