Djibril Diop Mambéty's film Hyenas (1992) is screened on 11 November 2026, at 18:00, at 4 Calea Turzii, Cluj-Napoca. It is a 110-minute Senegalese drama with English subtitles.
The film tells the story of the small Senegalese town of Colobane, to which Linguère Ramatou, a former resident who has become very rich, returns after a long absence. She offers the town part of her fortune in exchange for the righting of an old injustice. It is a free adaptation of The Visit by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, transposed to the social and political reality of Senegal. The film blends black satire, political allegory and surreal fairy tale, speaking of money, corruption, consumer desire and inequality.
