À l’été 2020, au coeur des manifestations du mouvement Black Lives Matter dans son pays, Helga Davis écrit un texte qui exprime sa douleur, son désespoir et aussi sa confiance en l’avenir. Ce texte est devenu le déclencheur d’un nouveau film et une première oeuvre cosignée Helga Davis et Anouk De Clercq, après avoir collaboré à Helga Humming (2019) et à One (2020), deux oeuvres précédentes d’Anouk De Clercq. OK examine les relations entre les Noirs et les Blancs tout en recherchant l’essence de la collaboration et de l’attention portée à l’autre. Un texte puissant à lire et à entendre.
Ce film fait partie du programme ALLER-RETOUR de la section FIFA EXPÉRIMENTAL.
