Rocket Kit Congo Kit - Craig BALDWIN
12/05/2019
Since the 1970s, American artist Craig Baldwin has been engaged in a critical rethink of the documentary genre by repurposing found footage material into new works. Rocket Kit Congo Kit (1986) is a schizophrenic compilation that traces the history of former Zaire, actual Democratic Republic of Congo, since its independence in 1960. The film is based around the agreement between Mobutu and East Germany which allotted one-tenth of the area of the country to German rocket plants.

During the decolonisation war between Portugal and Guinea-Bissau (1963-1974), the leader of the independence movement Amílcar Cabral sent a few young people to Cuba for film training so that they could come back and document the political situation in their country. Sana Na N'Hada, Flora Gomes, José Bolama Cobumba and Josefina Crato produced films, a few surviving fragments of which were found in 2011 and restored in Berlin.

Artist and filmmaker Marie Voignier uses documentary material as a terrain for visual and methodological experiments. Her film Les immobiles (2013) portrays an era noted for the obscene violence of organised safaris on the African continent, at a time when it was in the process of shaking off the yoke of colonialism. The film homes in on the decadent cultural practices of that period which has not entirely disappeared. Sitting in front of a fixed lens camera, a retired hunting guide slowly turns the pages of his memoirs.
