Sometimes it was Beautiful (37min, 2018) is a film by artist Christian Nyampeta.
About
The film features an unusual group of friends who gather to watch and critique films made by Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist in the Congo between 1948 and 1952. Their discussion highlights enduring tensions surrounding social transformation, cultural property, and who has the right to representation.
The screening is part of the public programme for The Show is Over.
