Bande-annonce
Ce film fait partie de la carte blanche de Badewa Ajibade
Une jeune Ghanéenne, fraîchement installée avec ses parents dans une nouvelle maison, interroge Dieu sur la raison des choses telles qu’elles sont. À travers une étude du raisonnement spirituel, ce film nous plonge dans le monde intérieur de la fillette, qui explore sa capacité à se défendre, à faire entendre sa voix, et à faire face à sa propre solitude, sans l’influence ou la surveillance des adultes. Ce récit poignant interroge les relations entre l’enfant et le divin, et nous invite à réfléchir sur notre propre capacité à affirmer notre être intérieur, dans un monde où les réponses ne sont pas toujours évidentes.

Claudia Owusu
Disponible en anglais seulement
Claudia Owusu (Nana Yaa Akyaa) is a Ghanaian-American poet, filmmaker, and essayist based in Columbus, Ohio. She writes from these two liminal spaces to make sense of them. She believes in the beauty of community and the intimate stories we share when we think no one is listening.
Claudia’s work engages the spaces that Black women and girls occupy, namely their relationship with safety, carefreeness, and self-ownership. She is deeply invested in personal narratives of Black girlhood and womanhood, through which she is learning to reclaim and carve space for herself. Her writing has appeared in Vogue Magazine, Clockhouse Magazine, and Brittle Paper. Her short films have screened at Nowness, Urbanworld, FilmAfrica, and Indiememphis.
