IMAGE RESTITUTION, Work-in-Progress Screening, Creative Industry Institute Africa, Windhoek 15.10.2025

A work-in-progress version of IMAGE RESTITUTION was presented at the Creative Industry Institute Africa, where the creative producer of the film, Joe Vision Production is based. The screening was part of the 25 Years of Twin Cities Windhoek-Berlin festival. The event was particularly significant as some of those in attendance were featured in the documentary. This direct encounter between cinematic documentation and lived memory lent the screening great emotional depth and opened up a multi-layered exchange. The ensuing discussion demonstrated the importance of coming together to watch, remember and talk openly in order to confront trauma and history.

Discussion moderated by Mwalengwa Hillebrecht and Laura Horelli. Introduction by Joel Haikali. In the presence of the participants Honest //Hoëb, Kuzajatu X Maamberua, Vitjitua Ndjiharine, Othy Kaakunga, Richard Sloa, Lekenanda M Eliakim, Ralph Ntelamo. Photos: Erastus Hamalwa
