SOUTH BY SOUTH PRESENTS: BANTÚ MAMA
After being arrested in the Dominican Republic, a French woman of African descent escapes custody and is sheltered by 3 minors in a dangerous district of Santo Domingo. Living undocumented and in the shadows, she finds herself growing into a maternal figure to the kids. Impeccably lensed and gorgeously illuminated, with imagery that highlights themes of movement, departures and displacement, Bantú Mama attempts a meditative intervention. One that traces the connections and links between Africa and her diverse diaspora.
Film will also be available on the BFI Player throughout the 10 days of the festival
