She then created several other shorts, including Deweneti (2006), which gained a top prize at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand short film festival, and the musical Saint Louis Blues (2009, Sundance, Locarno), both of which were nominated for a César award. Her first feature film, Under the Starry Sky (2014), was shot in Dakar, Turin and New York. She is co-curator of Tigritudes, a subjective and chronological anthology of Panafrican cinema.
