La Belle at the Movies. The city without cinema
In her cinematic exploration of the reality of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in this important documentary director Cecilia Zoppelletto exposes the precarious cinematographic reality of Africa through an iconic fact: the non-existence of a cinema in his third largest city.
Kinshasa, or "Kin la Belle", is the capital of Congo and home to more than ten million people, though it lacks a cinematographic "temple". Through interviews, poetry and observation, the documentary allows a reflection on this problem to emerge. The mission is to find solutions so that an essential continent can be represented on screen.
