Keïta’s family and other witnesses to his remarkable career share their memories of the photographer and his studio, which he ran from 1948 to 1962. Against the backdrop of Bamako, whose citizens Keïta lovingly immortalized, the film grants rare insight into the artist’s practice and speaks to his photographs’ power as a record of the nation.
Keïta La was directed by Mamadou Tapily, Catherine E. McKinley and Marc Lesser.
Keïta La runs for 10min, and was released in 2026.
