This Is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection

An eighty-year-old widow in Lesotho refuses to let a dam drown her village's graves, introduced by the film-maker Misa Mlambo.

At Genesis Cinema.

Mantoa has buried her husband and her children and is preparing her own funeral when she learns the village is to be resettled for a dam, and that the burial ground will go under the water. Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese films it slowly and in long takes, and what begins as a study of grief turns into a study of what a person will do when there is nothing left to lose.

Misa Mlambo, a South African producer and director working in London, introduces it.

It is part of Whose Land? Whose Lens?, a season curated by Meliza George with the National Film and Television School's programming course, on land, the people who live on it, and slow cinema as a way of arguing about both.
