THE SOUND OF MASKS

Dir.Sara CF de Gouveia

Atanásio Nhussi, a compelling storyteller and legendary Mapiko dancer, takes us on a visually dramatic journey through Mozambique's past and present.

TABU

Dir Nelson Makengo

2017|Democratic Republic of the Congo|15 minutes

This freewheeling short film introduces us to Tabu, an itinerant salesman of aphrodisiacs, who travels to Kinshasa to sell his goods. The camera accompanies him on his journey into the world of indigenous roots and powders and the colourful men he meets along the way who wish to supplement their sexual performance.
