Screenings and Discussion: Homage-Willie Owusu, Apr. 16 2011 @ Goethe
Date: April 16, 2011
Venue: Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Time: 4pm
Entry: Free
Goethe Institut continues with its series of retrospectives on Kenyan filmmakers. This month they feature the works of Willie Owusu.
Willie Owusu has been at the heart of creative boom in the Nairobi scene. Behind the scenes he has made a name for himself for a highly creative approach to film and video and as a founding partner in the production company Big Ideas. His specialty is the short but excellently produced formats: films such as Me First that got an award at the famous Oberhausen Short film Festival/Germany, and music videos, commercials and documentaries.
As usual in this series, G.I. will screen a representative selection of his corpus of work and will accompany the screenings with a discussion with the filmmaker.
