Guests
Paul Shemisi is a photographer, documentary filmmaker and hip-hop poet. His work, whether as a poet or as a cameraman, shows “his” Kinshasa: an artistically flourishing cosmopolitan city with an incomparable wealth of invention – the daily weapon of resistance and the engine for the resilience of the population. He will offer hip-hop workshops in French at schools in Cologne and other creative workshops together with Nizar Saleh.
Since 2016, Paul and Nizar have formed the COLLECTIF FAIRE-PART collective together with other Belgian filmmakers. Their common theme is primarily the reappraisal of colonialism. Paul is co-founder of the production company “Kimpavita Film”.

In seinen Filmen beschäftigt er sich mit verschwiegenen Erzählungen, postkolonialen Spuren und zeitgenössischen Verbindungen zwischen Afrika und Europa. Der aus Kinshasa stammende Künstler entwickelt eine filmische Praxis zwischen intimer Beobachtung, Archivarbeit und visueller Recherche. Er ist Gründungsmitglied des belgisch-kongolesischen Collectif FAIRE-PART. Zu seinen jüngsten Projekten zählen „Kingongolo Kiniata“ und „Bakufi te“ (The Unburyables).
