DIRECTOR: Sven Augustijnen

FILM INFO: 104 minutes, Belgium, 2011, Digital, Subtitled

Artist Sven Augustijnen will introduce this screening and take part in a discussion afterwards. Sven Augustijnen’s widely acclaimed essay film follows a Belgian civil servant as he attempts to piece together the events of January 1961, the day of the assassination of the Congo's first elected Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba. Echoing Derrida's Specters of Marx the work asks pertinent questions about ‘how a country or an individual deals with a colonial past and how does a nation process the suffering it has inflicted?’
