Every Wednesday, Lamakaan transforms into a portal to the cinematic worlds of Jacques Annaud, the acclaimed French filmmaker born on 1 October 1943 in Juvisy-sur-Orge, France. Known for his sweeping narratives and anthropological depth, Annaud’s films traverse time, terrain, and the human spirit. This weekly festival showcases his most iconic works—from prehistoric odysseys to spiritual awakenings—each film a masterclass in visual storytelling and cultural immersion. Whether you're a film student, history buff, or simply a lover of bold cinema, Annaud’s lens offers something unforgettable.

About the film: Black and White in Color (French: La Victoire en chantant, then Noirs et Blancs en couleur for the 1977 re-issue) is a 1976 French-Ivorian black comedy war film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud in his directorial debut. The film is set in the African theater of World War I, during the French invasion of the German colony of Kamerun. The film adopts a strong antimilitaristic point of view, and is noteworthy for ridiculing the French side even more harshly than their German counterparts.
