South by South and Film Africa present: BANTÚ MAMA (Dine & View)

Dir. Ivan Herrera

Dominican Republic. 2021. 77min. French and Spanish with English Subtitles.

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.

Join us at 7pm for a meal of Cameroonian food before the screening starts at 7:30pm.

South by South is a quarterly film screening at the South London Gallery. The programme, which is now in its eleventh year, focuses on presenting bold and innovative cinema from Africa and the diaspora to audiences in the UK.
