About
A series of 5 short films by filmmakers from Morocco, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Kenya put together by Claire Diao, the French-Burkinabé journalist and film critic.
How can Africa project itself into the future? Can it tell its own stories in more experimental, offbeat ways than the humanitarian imagery and/or cinematic images of hardship and suffering?
Rwandan artist Kantarama Gahigiri imagines the return to earth of a cosmonaut who stayed in space for 30 years. With humor, Kenyan Jim Chuchu examines the meteoric rise of a young contemporary artist. Between Juju and science fiction, Nigerian CJ Obasi films the adventures of three witches. So what if the goats die is an essay on knowledge or rather on ignorance by Moroccan, Sophia Alaoui. The film “Zombie” is a journey between hope and dystopia in a hallucinated Kinhsasa by the Congolese/Belgian singer Baloji.2017/2018/2019 | 1h25min
Screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Kenyan filmmaker, Jim Chuchu.
