Forum Expanded section head Stefanie Schulte Strathaus met with Jonna Kina, Petna Ndaliko Katondolo, Cherie Rivers Ndaliko, Moritz Siebert and Angelika Levi, the directors of « After Life », « Kapita », « Fatherland » and « Ahorita Frames ». Screening in the 2021 Forum Expanded programme.
About the films:
Fatherland: Gerson Liebl from Togo, grandson of a German colonial officer, has been fighting to get German citizenship and residency permission for the last 30 years. As a last-ditch effort he resorts to a hunger strike.
Ahorita Frames: At the PedWest border crossing in Tijuana, stranded migrants re-stage the history of the Latin American women who cleaned the “Ground Zero” of the World Trade Center without residence permits and without proper respiratory protection.
Kapita: By recoding archival footage and intertwining it with contemporary images, Kapita exposes patterns of extraction and burial to decode colonial representations—and exploitation—of central African land and people and mines.
After Life : A composition of two separate films explores transcendental issues through illegal excavations of tombs – a phenomenon faced by many rural archaeological sites. The films portray both a site and an object originating from one of the necropoleis around Narce.
