Personal and Collective Archive Shorts
Maestra
USA/Cuba, 2011, 33 minutes
Director: Catherine Murphy
Maestra explores the experiences of nine women who, as young girls, taught on the Cuban Literacy Campaign of 1961. When Cuba announced at the UN General Assembly in September 1961 that they would eradicate illiteracy in one year, over 250,000 citizens volunteered. Interviews, recorded testimonials, and powerful archival footage, tell this story. And each of them insists this was the most important thing they had ever done.
Goodbye Mandima
Switzerland/Congo, 2010, 10 minutes
Director: Robert-Jan Lacombe
Through the discovery of old photos comes the story of the filmmaker's life in the village of Mandima, Zaire. Sifting through the photos of their departure, he observes and remembers from one image to the next, about his childhood and everything he left behind.
Back to Mandima
Switzerland, 2011, 40 minutes
Director: Robert-Jan Lacombe
1996. I was 10 when we left our village of Zaire. War broke soon after. A personal journey, back to the childhood, to look for my best friends. But a lot has happened in 15 years.
