Synopsis
The calabash is used as a metaphor for Africa and its representation of cinema. The rhythm intrudes into the film to pose questions of yesterday's cinema and emphatically address tomorrow's. Will cinema be able to break free from clichés and prejudices? [1][2]
Production
It is one of three short films along with True Story and Intervention Rapide made by Katondolo in conjunction with Yole!Africa, a community arts organization based in Goma.[3]
