Profile

Moïse Togo is a filmmaker based in Mali. Moïse holds a degree from the Bamako Conservatory and Le Fresnoy—Studio National des Arts Contemporains. His work questions the evolution of African beliefs in a modern world filled with new technologies. Moïse is interested in exploring the social conditions of being and in unfolding traditional practices that disturb people's lives through strong and sensitive messages. He stays true to an experimental approach that unfolds from one production to the next, allowing him to continuously explore novel forms of film writing. Moïse’s short film “$75,000”—about the physical and moral conditions of people living with albinism in Africa—debuted at Sundance Film Festival and won the 2021 SCAM (Société Civile des Auteurs Multimedia) Experimental Work Prize.
