We kickstart our virtual cinema with a feature by Sofie Hanegreefs & Kris Pannecoucke about life, death, and music. Beautifully shot in Ghana, Long Live the Dead! follows troubadour Stevo Atambire, a musician who travels from funeral to funeral, comforting the relatives and friends of the deceased with his improvised songs, using a traditional Kologo guitar.
Starting this Friday, 23 January, until Sunday, 01 February, all active virtualWOMEX members will be able to stream the film:
