Alain Kassanda, Blu-ray, 89 min
France, 2022 (French, Lingala)

Midwest premiere

Through a series of interviews with his grandparents and archival footage of Belgian colonial times in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the filmmaker’s search to understand himself and his roots becomes an evocative and poetic meditation on the intersections of political and family histories, and the multi-generational reach of colonialism.

Presented as part of the Albertine Cinémathèque program & co-sponsored by the Institute of World Affairs
