“Saloum is high-octane entertainment that leaves traditional storytelling at the door in exchange for dynamic filmmaking.” (Tilt Magazine)

“Spirituality, morality, mythology, and mysticism get thrown into a gritty crime thriller blender, culminating in a refreshingly unique type of genre-bender.”
(Bloody Disgusting)

“Strap in; Jean Luc Herbulot’s Saloum is nothing less than 84 minutes of pure African genre mayhem, with little interest in pausing long enough for you to catch your breath…Where this all goes frankly has to be seen to be believed, and it’s a wild, fun ride getting there.” (Film International)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
