About
A heartrending visual metaphor executed in brilliant black-and-white photography. This confrontational and soul-bearing cinematic essay examines the impact of colonialism, exploring themes of religion and longing.
As we float through the streets of Lesotho, following a cross-bearing woman and an omnipresent figure wearing wings, a tumultuous history of sorrow and suffering between the motherland and its people unravels. The through line of symbolism pairs with the reading of a raw and affecting letter lamenting the loss of a home once known, in which every line is more acerbic than the last.
Through potent imagery and poetic narration, filmmaker Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese grapples with exile from his native country and alienation in his newfound home in Germany.
(Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese, Germany, Lesotho & Qatar, 2019, 76 min, in Sotho with English subtitles)

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Executive Director Vivian Hua at vivian@nwfilmforum.org
