Le silence de la forêt (lit. 'The Silence of the Forest/The Forest') is a 2003 drama film directed by Bassek Ba Kobhio and Didier Ouenangare. The film is an adaption of the eponymous novel by Étienne Goyémidé. A co-production between Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and France, it is the first feature filmed in the Central African Republic. It is also the first film to depict the contemporary prejudice held by some Africans toward the pygmy people.
