  • Programme Festival Cinémas D
    2 Le 8ème FestivalEDITO entrecroise innovations, découvertes, et fidélité aux artistes déjà rencontrés, présente 15 longs métrages, environ 20 films courts,originaires de onze pays d’Afrique et des Caraïbes, avec un focus sur le Maroc (7 cinéastes). La fidélité aux fondateurs du cinéma d’Afrique c’est d’abord un hommage à des amis disparus : Sotigui Kouyaté, l’immense comédien, le conteur magique, Samba Félix Ndiaye, le documentariste si sensible et incisif, parti il y a juste un an, auquel nous associons un autre ami sénégalais, Mahama Johnson Traoré. Parmi les réalisateurs programmés, neuf l’avaient déjà été: Mahamat Saleh Haroun dont le film couronné à Cannes, sera la sixième oeuvre présentée à Apt, Raoul Peck, qui nous fait l’honneur, comme Faouzi Bensaïdi, d’une leçon de cinéma, Daoud Aoulad Syad, Brahim Fritah, Mohamed Zran, Dani Kouyaté, Malek Bensmaïl… Ce Festival sera aussi marqué par la découverte de nouveaux talents. Onze cinéastes présentent ici l’un de leurs premiers films, la plupart n’ayant pas encore réalisé un long métrage, Munir Abbar, El Mehdi Azzam, Nadia Chouieb, Alassane Diago, Dalila Ennadre, Dieudo Hamadi, Amal Kateb, Sani Magori, Lionel Meta, Othman Naciri, Zelalem Waldemariam… D’autres initiatives illustrent cette démarche : la soirée de la Fondation Blachère autour de Breeze Yoko et de vidéastes sud africains, la présentation de 11 films (de 2’) du projet Footsak, la présidence du jury par une toute jeune cinéaste sénégalaise, Angèle Diabang, le débat sur l’émergence d’une nouvelle génération de cinéastes et sa formation… Cette multiplicité de films couvre des sujets essentiels : le racisme, de la Vénus noire de Abdellatif Kechiche au regard colonial (avec des films d’archives d’il y a un siècle), les indépendances, l’émigration, la mondialisation… Et puis, tout naturellement, la vie, avec ses aventures, ses rencontres, ses tristesses, ses joies, ses imaginaires, l’énergie que chacun y trouve, est notre sujet à tous.

  • LIGNES DE FRONT DP.Indd
    SYNOPSIS Paris, avril 1994. Antoine Rives, journaliste indépendant, tourne un reportage sur les rapatriés du Rwanda. Il rencontre alors Clément, étudiant rwandais d’origine hutue dont la fiancée tutsie, Alice, a disparu. Antoine le convainc de repartir avec lui au Rwanda à la recherche d’Alice, et de le laisser filmer son périple. Un « pacte » qui s’avère très vite intenable face au chaos dans lequel ils vont se trouver plongés. Une traversée de l’horreur dans laquelle Antoine perd ses illusions sur son métier de journaliste et se demande jusqu’à quel point il peut filmer et exposer la tragédie humaine au reste du monde. « Lignes de Front » raconte autre chose. C’est une histoire, celle de l’initiation d’Antoine, que ENTRETIEN JEAN-CHRISTOPHE KLOTZ joue Jalil Lespert. Une fois quittés la sphère journalistique et le carcan autobiographique, j’ai pu pousser le personnage jusqu’au bord du gouffre, dans une situation limite qui, finalement, le conduit face à lui-même. J’ai délibérément choisi de centrer le film sur le parcours d’Antoine. Pourquoi faire « Lignes de Front » après « Kigali, des images contre un massacre » ? Après C’est le seul point de vue que je pouvais traiter avec honnêteté, en connaissance de cause, la avoir réalisé votre documentaire, n’avez-vous jamais pensé que finalement l’essentiel seule manière pour moi de raconter cette histoire de l’intérieur. Je ne me sentais pas capable avait été dit ? de raconter par la fiction le génocide du point de vue des Rwandais. Je ne conçois pas ces films l’un sans l’autre.

  • Lumumba Film Reviews Guys
    Lumumba Film reviews Guys: A question to ponder about this film: how much of what has happened and is happening to this day in the Congo (ironically named Democratic Republic of the Congo)—the chaos, the brutality, the civil wars, the mass kidnapping of children and the rape of women, and the deaths of millions of innocent civilians—the fault of the Africans themselves and how much of it is the fault of outsiders (specifically the West, which includes the United States). For many of you the events portrayed in the film will of course be bewildering given your lack of awareness of the history of the Congo and the role played by the United States in that country. The reviews below will give you a brief but helpful overview of key facts of context that should help you understand the film better. As you will probably guess, I do not place this film in the typical Hollywood genre because it is made from the perspective of Africa, not the West. Another question to ponder: would ordinary U.S. Americans (especially whites) go view a film like this one? Whatever your answer.... Why? Lumumba Review by Roger Ebert Jul 27, 2001 Why does the United States so often back the reactionary side in international disputes? Why do we fight against liberation movements, and in favor of puppets who make things comfy for multinational corporations? Having built a great democracy, why are we fearful of democracy elsewhere? Such thoughts occurred as I watched "Lumumba," the story of how the United States conspired to bring about the death of the Congo's democratically elected Patrice Lumumba--and to sponsor in his place Joseph Mobotu, a dictator, murderer and thief who continued for nearly four decades to enjoy American sponsorship.

  • Congolese Cinema Today : Memories of the Present in Kinshasa’S New Wave Cinema (2008-2018)
    MEMORIES OF THE PRESENT IN KINSHASA’S NEW WAVE CINEMA (2008-2018) CONGOLESE CINEMA TODAY : MEMORIES OF THE PRESENT IN KINSHASA’s NEW WAVE CINEMA (2008-2018) MATTHIAS DE GROOF, ALESSANDRO JEDLOWSKI « Cinema is a kind of collective therapy. It can change the reality of our country » Okoko Nyumbaiza1 Collective cultural memory is often shaped through films, but in Congolese cinema, this concern for the past appears to be almost ab- sent. Does Congolese cinema really ignore the past ? Or is it rather obsessed with the present ? Congolese cinema has rarely addressed the erasure of pre-colonial civilizations caused by the colonial inva- sion, as Ousmane Sembène did in Ceddo (1977) or Med Hondo in Sarraounia (1986) did for West-Africa. Nor has it tried to compen- sate these erasures by producing a « calabash cinema » anchored in the precolonial rural world, as it happened in Malian or Burkinabe cinemas ; or expressed the need to investigate the past in order to define a way forward, as in the idea of Sankofa in Haile Gerima’s Ethiopian films. Congolese cinema has hardly made any attempt at producing a re-appropriation of Congolese history through forms of anticolonial cinema as it happened in Mozambique with the films produced by FRELIMO (see KuxaKanema, 2003), and even films produced during the Mobutu regime and influenced by its authen- ticity campaigns did not try to reconfigure the country’s past to ac- commodate the regime’s ideological orientations – except perhaps for Bokakala Nkolobise’s Bakanja, produced in 1989 by the Arch- diocese of Mbandaka-Bikoro. Finally, Congolese filmmakers have 1 Personal interview made by Alessandro Jedlowski on 18/02/2018.
