DIE GEDANKEN UNSERER VORFAHREN

Journalist and TV presenter Kokutekeleza Musebeni’s THE THOUGHTS OF OUR ANCESTORS is set in a utopian future free of wars, hier­archies and discrimination where a young Black woman must decide whether to inherit or erase the trauma of her ancestors.

The Afrofuturistic hybrid, which mixes documentary with fiction, is Musebeni’s fourth short film after the short documentary STRONG HAIR, MAYBE IT’S ADHD? and the multi-award- winning hybrid short THE DOOR OF RETURN.

THE THOUGHTS OF OUR ANCESTORS is the first collaboration between Musebeni, who is currently studying Documentary Film at HFF München, and producer and HFF graduate Seren Sahin (KILLING BAGHEERA).
