About a three-day festival of masks from all over the region, for which Zeguedeguin was famous.  This year (May 1977) an American art historian came and stayed in our compound so he could film the dancing. Tensions arose between the masks and him. His high-quality film, recorded with a super-8 movie camera and microphone on a boom, was later shown in art museums and can be found on Youtube today at this link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6b9XzFVvfk&t=1130s

He makes a couple of mistakes about me.  I got a PhD in English and American Studies, not in African Literature; and I was (and am) still teaching.  He went on to a distinguished career in African art history. He passed away in 2019, and the village he often stayed in held a celebration of his life.
