About the Director
Wally Fall is a filmmaker from Martinique. After learning the basics of digital filmmaking and editing in London, he gained much of his early experience in Europe (UK and France), in the Caribbean and Africa, and on TV programs and various video projects before working on his own project around 2013 : a narrative short film shot in Paris and a self-produced documentary shot in Senegal with his dad. In 2016, along with fellow filmmakers and film professionals, he founded Cinemawon, a film collective dedicated to creating new spaces to screen films mostly overlooked, from the Caribbean and the African diasporas. Now he’s back in the Caribbean in Guadeloupe, where he lives and works, sharing his time between personal and commissioned projects and the collective work with Cinemawon that is still growing. Fouyé Zétwal was shot in Guadeloupe and questions the many reasons that have been driving the youth away from the island for a long time, leaving a population that is one of the oldest in the Caribbean.
