La Belle at the Movies

Kinshasa, “Kin la Belle” is a city of 10 million people without a single cinema. The story of the city, its apartheid era, and Mobutu's neo colonialism, unfolds through the fate of its cinemas. At the same time, La Bella celebrates the Kinshasa cowboys who found their identity in the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s.Through interviews and poetic imagery, La Belle at the Movies bears a unique testimony to an African film industry in crisis - orphaned but living in hope for a brighter future.
