Café Kuba: Who Dared to Awaken the Dead Memory, 28min,. Congo
Directed by David Shongo
At its core, Café Kuba explores Kinshasa through the silent presence of a mobile coffee vendor navigating the vibrant streets of the Bandal district. Filmed after the M23 rebel group’s capture of Goma, as they threatened Kinshasa, the film portrays a city on the brink of conflict. David Shongo avoids framing the vendor as a conventional protagonist. Instead, his silence becomes his strength—absorbing and reflecting the city’s tensions, frustrations, and private conversations.
