UP AT NIGHTNUIT DEBOUT
- Logline
- « Cinema is an art of light. It's a challenge to make a film in the best of conditions—who would be bold enough to make a film when it's pitch dark outside? Shooting in the dark, though, teaches us that darkness is not just a natural occurrence. Darkness has a politics, and it is built through histories of power and corruption. In this film, the stories of those who are forced to live in the dark in Kinshasa are told with biting irony, rich sonic and visual texture, pointed critique, and exuberant resilience. The IDFA Award for Best Short Documentary goes to Nelson Makengo's brilliant Up at Night.
