About
Jean-Pierre Bekolo's melodramatic sci-fi film The Bloodettes (Les Saignantes) screens at the VIFF Centre as part of the African Cinema Now! series. The story follows the death of a politician in Cameroon and the two women who must protect themselves from the system by disposing of his body, moving through the darkness of a sometimes futuristic yet recognizable city where their lives intertwine with its inhabitants. Bekolo uses the film to critique political corruption and the expectations of social life, offering a look at the social fabric and possible future of a post-colonial nation. The series is curated by Akojo Film Collective and supported by UBC Africa Awareness Initiative. Tickets are available.
