ResumoFrom Moi, un Noir to Cocorico Monsieur Poulet, (to mention just two), Jean Rouch is known to the public primarily as a film‐maker. And not just any film‐maker: his feature films and shorts can be corrosive, revealing, comic and bittersweet. He is perhaps less well known for his ‘activist’ role in charge of the French national Cinémathèque, or for his part in launching and encouraging, with faultless respect, a great number (he's lost count by now) of young film‐makers in France, Africa and elsewhere, establishing a solid network of friends as he goes. Museum was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of all three of these facets – film‐maker, activist and mentor – in the course of this interview.
