SEVEN YEARS IN MAY (SETE ANOS EM MAIO)

Dir.: Affonso Uchôa, C: Rafael dos Santos Rocha, Wederson Neguinho, Leonardo Ferreira, Maicon Felipe, Magno Pires, DOP: Lucas Barbi, BR/AR 2019, 42 min., Portuguese OwEs – German Premiere

Abysses reflected in young faces, witnesses to abductions and torture in urban Brazil. A black background, a blazing fire. Truth escapes the eye. A film not paralysed by realities of violence.

THE LOST OKOROSHI

Dir.: Abba Makama, C: Judith Audu, Seun Ajayi, Tope Tedela, Ifu Ennada, Chiwetalu Agu, DOP: Mike Omonua, NG 2019, 92 min., Igbo / Pidgin / English OwEs – German Premiere

The dreams of good-for-nothing Raymond are haunted by his ancestors. One day, they turn his life fully upside down. Abba Makama’s comedic roundelay presents Nigeria’s capital, prostitutes, children and a sect with equal levity.

Organized with the support of the Goethe-Institut Nigeria

After the screening

What happens when two people fight? To find out whether the image has the last word, we invite two writer colleagues to engage in a debate about the evening’s programme and to forthrightly react to the films that were screened.

Guests: Senem Aytaç, Wilfred Okiche

In the presence of: Abba T. Makama

Moderated by Dana Linssen

Re-Run: Sunday, 1st March 2020 – 8 pm
