Abstract

FilmInitiativ is delighted to present an event in cooperation with the Friends of Wallraf Richartz Museum and Museum Ludwig society for the first time at this year’s anniversary festival. They asked South African Gabi Ngcobo, curator of the 10th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, to select a film for their Tuesday series KunstBewusst, which will then be screened as part of the 15th Afrika Film Festival Köln.

Gabi Ngcobo chose a recently released film from South Africa that has never been screened at cinemas in Europe, nor has it taken part in any European festival competitions. It’s a SNEAK PREVIEW.

The discussion after the film is sure to be fascinating, as Gabi Ngcobo’s statement on her choice of film testifies: “We need to question the hierarchical nature of historical narratives, especially those that favour a single story over more complex narratives.”
