Directing
No description available.
The president of an African country is closely allied with European entrepreneurs for his own benefit and theirs. The sky falls on their heads when a political essay on "The Political Structures of Traditional Power" is published. To make matters worse, the military gets involved. The president, whose party ruled unchallenged (single-party system), finds himself under house arrest.
TI-PRI (The Mud House, 1972) is a poetic homage to subsistance farming in Brittany and at the same time a militant warning against the loss of Breton culture and language. When the film screened in Oberhausen in 1973, resistance against the oppression of minority languages and cultures within centralized France was at its peak. TI-PRI was director Philippe Cassard's first film.
