Lobi, meaning both 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' in Lingala, is an experimental visual essay on the 50th anniversary of Congo’s Independence. Nine young filmmakers of Congolese and Belgian origine collaborated in Kinshasa to create this super8 film, expressing nine different views that merge in a quest for a common language to broach the past, conceive the present and imagine the future.
