The screening will include the short films:
Mulika
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
Mother Nature
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.
Regard
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.
