Simon (Denis Podalydes), a well-known French filmmaker, starts shooting his next film. A story about workers fighting to protect their factory from being relocated. But nothing goes as planned… His producer Viviane (Emmanuelle Bercot) wants to rewrite the ending and is threatening to cut the budget; his own crew goes on strike; his personal life is in shambles; and to make things worse, his lead actor Alain (Jonathan Cohen) is an egocentric jerk. Joseph (Stefan Crepon), an extra who wants to get into the Film Industry, agrees to direct the Making Of and shoot the behind-the-scenes. He takes his role very seriously and starts following around the crew, capturing all this mess… What follows is proof that the Making Of can sometimes be far better than the film itself !

In 1953, Mamadou Touré directed the film “Mouramani”, a film considered as the first ever made by a black French-speaking director. However, the mystery remains. No one knows where to find a print, neither if one even exists. “The Cemetery of Cinema” is the search for that film, also an ode to cinema, both the kind we watch and the kind we make. A road-movie from east to west, north to south, a film full of love, humor and tenderness towards his peers and the new generation to come but also a quest as Souleymane marches with a sign demanding “Mouramani”’s return…
