Maisha Maene is a Congolese visual artist and director based in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. As an artist, he works on issues of human rights and the environment. As well as various collaborative projects, Maisha has written and directed five short films. His most recent short film Mulika won a jury prize Pardi di domani at Locarno Film Festival 2022, Best Sound Design at Dresden Short Film Festival 2023, Best Film and Best Cinematography at FICKIN’ Film Festival Kinshasa. Mulika was also Selected at Sundance Film Festival, Clermont Ferrand, FESPACO. Maisha Maene was selected to participate in the Berlinale Talents Doc Station lab 2024 with his documentary feature film project Spaceman in Kongo which is currently in development. Maisha Maene was selected to participate to the Camp SandBox 2024 in San Fransisco, California. The eclectic mix over the years of Camp SandBox has included participants ranging from Oscar-winning directors and Nobel-winning scientists, to emerging voices in nonfiction and early-career researchers pushing the boundaries of their field.
The screening will include the following films:
An ‚afronaut‘ emerges from the wreckage of a spaceship in the volcanic crater of Mount Nyiragongo. As he descends into the city below, encountering the people of present-day Goma, he begins to understand what he must do to change the future for his people
Disgusted by the already deplorable behavior of the human being towards his nature (environment), NURU, a woman citizen of the planet with the overflowing imagination, decides to paint the engine oil which she uses as metaphor to pass a message to the future generation.
With the arts as its starting point, in particular drawing, dance and photography in Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this 5-minute docu-fiction recomposes the colonial gaze in a critical sense.
