Moussa Sene Absa was born in 1958 in Senegal. After starting a career as an actor, he has won awards for his short films, documentaries, and features. He is also a painter and author. He exemplifies the “homo senegalensis”, an ideal of an artist, which was dear to Léopold Sédar Senghor, rooted in tradition purpose fully willing to use what the Western world has to offer. Ironically, Absa is more famous internationally than he is in his own country, despite exposure to a wide audience in Senegal through the TV series Goorgoorlu, written by TT Fons and produced by the national Senegalese television (RTS). His first film, The Price of the lie (The Price of Lies) earned him the Tanit d'argent (Silver Tanit) at the Journées cinématographiques de Carthage (Carthage Film Festival) in 1988. Table Scrap, released in 1996, earned him several awards including Best Cinematography at FESPACO in 1997.
