Mamadou Dia

Mamadou Dia listed in Kër Nafy is part of the cast alongside Marième Faye, Moussa Saw, Fily Diagne, Oumy Ndong, Ibrahima Mbaye and others. However, CANAL+ does not provide a biography or character description for him, so I would not attach the filmmaker's biography to this actor without further evidence.

There is also a different Mamadou Dia, a prominent Senegalese filmmaker born in 1984 in Matam, Senegal. He is a director, screenwriter, cinematographer and producer. He directed Baamum Nafi (Nafi's Father, 2019), which won two awards at Locarno, and Demba (2024), which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival.

For your database, I would therefore keep the Kër Nafy actor and the filmmaker as two separate people unless a reliable source proves they are the same person.
