Omen + Q&A at TNB XPO 24

Join us at Rich Mix on day 3 of TNB XPO 24 for Omen, a striking directorial debut from Belgian-Congolese rapper, Baloji

This magic realist film is a tale of family, relationships, suspicion and belonging. It navigates the thin layer between reality and sorcery to weave a distinct, deeply impressionistic aesthetic. It centres Koffi a young Congolese man who travels back to his hometown in Kinshasa to reunite with his family and culture. The complexities abound as four characters bring different worlds and perspectives which intersect through chapters in the film, each adding a new dimension as the narrative unfolds.

Omen won the New Voice prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023.

This film is in French and Swahili with English subtitles.
