Ng'endo Mukii, Jana Wolff, Deborah Seifert Ng'endo Mukii is an
award-winning film director, most well known for ‘Yellow Fever,'
her documentary-animation exploring Western influences on African
women's ideals of beauty. Her work focuses on relationships, the
separation between perception and reality, and the use of moving
image to represent unspoken truths. In ‘Nairobi
Berries’ two women and a man wrangle. Each must hollow out the
other’s core for fruits promised but only ever borne in dreams. The
film is a poetic symphony on Nairobi. The film will be showcased at
re:publica’s labore:tory for the duration of the conference. In
cooperation with Electric South, Goethe-Institut South Africa and
the European Film Market.
