Gatta Abdourahamane

Gatta Abdourahamane was among the directors who made Niger, in the seventies, one of the most active countries on the continent in cinema, alongside Oumarou Ganda and Moustapha Alassane. He worked for state television, where he made films on custom. In the same year as the Caméra d'or he received for the latter, a UNESCO festival held in Nairobi awarded him the screenwriters' prize for another title. Histories of African cinema cite him with the country's two other pioneers, though the sources reviewed give neither his dates nor the details of his filmography.
