Pre-premiere screening: Kilichobaki – What Remains
Bagamoyo Film Collective
Kilichobaki – What Remains follows communities in Northern Tanzania as they engage with a history that is often archived elsewhere. Through encounters with photographs of looted objects, stories passed down through generations, and discussions sparked by the traveling research exhibition Marajesho, the film explores how colonial violence continues to affect families, identities, and demands for restitution today. Rather than treating history as distant, the film shows how it is lived, remembered, and negotiated in the present.
Kilichobaki – What Remains inafuatilia jamii za Kaskazini mwa Tanzania zinavyokabiliana na historia ambayo mara nyingi huhifadhiwa kwingineko. Kupitia mikutano na picha za vitu vilivyoporwa, simulizi zilizorithishwa kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi, na majadiliano yaliyochochewa na maonesho ya utafiti yanayosafiri ya Marejesho, filamu hii inachunguza jinsi ukatili wa kikoloni unavyoendelea kuathiri familia, utambulisho, na madai ya urejeshaji hadi leo.
Badala ya kuichukulia historia kama jambo la mbali, filamu hii inaonesha jinsi historia hiyo inavyoendelea kuishi, kukumbukwa, na kujadiliwa katika maisha ya sasa.
