🎬📢 Join us September 11, for the 25th anniversary screening of "AFRICA IS THE FUTURE," the seminal 4-chapter film by French Congolese director Nicolas Premier ()
Interspersed with dives into the arcane of the Universe and guided by the recurring appearance of the Kongo cosmogram (symbol of the circularity of the World), the film recounts different stories born of the Black Atlantic and its shores through a deluge of images. It's a poetic curation of original shots, Internet sources, and archival images.
The film (an excerpt is featured in our current "Pitch Black" exhibition) works in depth as a shamanic ritual capable of restoring our vision. It invites us to consider all images as bearers of ageless secrets and meanings that have not yet been (re)discovered.
The screening will be followed by a Director Talk + Q&A on cultural memory and the unseen connections offered by the magic of editing, and more.
