Spotlight on Windhoek: Films - Discourse - VR-Lounge

As part of 25 Years of the Windhoek-Berlin City Partnership, AFRIKAMERA presents a comprehensive program at SİNEMA TRANSTOPIA.

Namibian director and producer Joel Haikali will present the program Windhoek Shorts (Namibia 2019 – 2024), featuring recent short and medium-length films from the Namibian capital. Furthermore, there will be two discursive formats that deal with the country's colonial past and its impact on the present. The program includes the project Image Restitution (Working Title, Work-in-Progress, 2025) by artists Laura Horelli and Hildegard Titus, which shows current reactions in Namibia to a 1975 anti-apartheid documentary, as well as SORRY For The Genocide (Work in Progress, 2025), a documentary by Wave In Motion media production about the journey towards reconciliation between Namibia and Germany.

In the foyer, Time Prints Film & Media will present two filmic works by filmmaker and media artist Christian Zipfel: The Soil Of The Namib: VR (2023) and A Place In The Sun (2018), followed by a DJ set. (AK)
