Asientos est un film documentaire camerounais réalisé en 1995.

Synopsis

« Asientos » signifie « chose acquise, décidée ». C’est sous cette forme de « Asientos », ou licences, que l’Espagne du XVI siècle confiait aux négriers européens l’organisation de la traite des esclaves. Cent ans se sont écoulés depuis qu’a pris fin la déportation d’Africains vers le Nouveau monde. Le film raconte l’histoire d’un jeune Africain traumatisé par la violence qu’il voit encore aujourd’hui. Pour y échapper, il se réfugie dans l’imaginaire et se rend à l’île de Gorée. Ce voyage au cœur de la douleur et de la souffrance, à travers des lieux vides mais pourtant chargés de mémoire, est une suite de questionnements.

Ostensibly a filmed recollection of Richard Halliburton's travels on the Indian sub-continent, the film combined actual footage shot in India, with scenes which were created on the sound stages of Hollywood. Halliburton was a well-known adventurer of the day, having traveled the world extensively, and even becoming the first man to swim the Panama Canal. The film follows Halliburton's travels, from the Hindu temple of the Goddess of Kali, through the deserted temples of Angkor Wat, where he is tempted to try to gain a fortune in jewels, only to be thwarted by a guardian cobra.
