Competition - Creative documentaries
Colette et Justin
By Alain Kassanda
Of Congolese origin, Alain Kassanda retraces his family history and that of the Belgian colonisation of the Congo, and its later independence. In this very intimate film, he successfully situates the major political milestones in the history of the Congo through the use of archived and family footage, the recollections of his grandparents, and the addition of a poignant voice-over. This film questions the dual perspective of colonisation and immigration, from the point of view of those who lived through it, and those who inherited it.
