Original title As Aventuras do Angosat

In 2017, Angola launched its first satellite into space... and got lost. The Adventures of Angosat is a retelling of this dream. An indie musical film written and performed by Isis Hembe, one of the most renowned Angolan urban artists. It brings together upcoming artists from the streets of Cazenga (Luanda) in a unique one-shot fiction film.

Resem Verkron is part of the two most exciting cultural movements in Luanda: the street art Verkron Collective and Geração 80, the leading art-house cinema production company. He defines his work as “emotional Afrofuturism”.

Marc Serena co-directed the award-winning feature doc Tchindas (2015). His film, The Writer from a Country Without Bookstores, won a prize at the DIG Awards, Italy, for best investigative journalism. He has published three books and currently freelances for several TV stations.

Director Marc Serena will be present for Q&A.
