TSHOPER KABAMBI/Cine na Biso: LIGHT IN THE HEART OF DARKNESS
The famous title of Joseph Conrad’s Congo novel has been sticking to the country’s reputation like a curse. Today’s nascent Congolese cinema scene actively counteracts. This Cine Lecture provides insights into this dynamic movement.
Films about the Congo have majorly contributed to the country’s image as the hellhole of this world. A young scene of filmmakers and cinema activists in Kinshasa are actively revolting against this gory attribution – by making films and by creating a cinema culture matching the city’s specifics. This cine lecture provides insights into this dynamic movement.
