Mo & Me + Concerning Violence

​We’re planning our follow-up screening afternoon for Friday, 13 November, 1:30–5:30pm at Nyumba Cinema, Rosslyn Riviera Mall, with two films:

​Mo & Me follows Salim Amin as he reflects on the life and work of his father, Kenyan photojournalist Mohamed “Mo” Amin. Through archival footage and personal recollections, the film brings together a son’s relationship with his father and the extraordinary—and sometimes difficult—history captured through his camera.

​Concerning Violence, directed by Göran Hugo Olsson and narrated by Lauryn Hill, brings archival footage of African liberation struggles into conversation with Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth. It asks us to consider colonial violence, resistance and the images through which these histories are told.
