Bamako, Mali Dept: Carnets d'un grand d tour. Catherine H bert's documentary on Marc Roger's eight-month, 2500-km hike from Saint Malo, France to Bamako, Mali with a donkey carrying books to share. A moving voyage that crosses Morocco and Senegal along the way, this beautifully shot film is full of surprises. Plays at 3: 10 and 7 p.m. at Excentris, 3536 St. Laurent Blvd. Call 514-847-2206. T'Cha Dunlevy, according to Montreal Gazette and fILM Le Havre. Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki's wonderful minimalist fable about a young African illegal immigrant who surfaces in the French port town, and an old man named Marcel Marx Andr Wilms , who tries to help him as the police close in. Emotional truths surface amid Kaurismaki's trademark deadpan comedy. A great little film. Screens at 1: 10 and 9 p.m. at Excentris, 3536 St. Laurent Blvd. Call 514-847-2206. TD div
