Summary:This article explores the experiences of students from African countries who studied in two of the world’s leading film schools in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC) in Paris and the Film Institute (VGIK) in Moscow. Focusing on the political context that made these student flows possible, the article examines in which conditions these young Africans studied in the 1950s and 1960s, first in France and then in the Soviet Union, thus highlighting the differences and commonalities of their experiences.
