The Brussels African Art Center, in collaboration with Creative Africa and Bozar, pays tribute to Dieudonné Mwezé Ngangura. Dieudonné Mwezé Ngangura, a son of independence and an emblematic figure in the early days of cinema in Africa, is one of the leading talents on the burgeoning scene that today boasts countless Afro-descendant creators of international stature.
After arriving in Belgium at the age of 20, Dieudonné Mwezé Ngangura made two short films during his studies at the IAD broadcasting school: Tamtam-électronique (Electronic Tamtam) and Rhythm and blood. After making documentaries for Zairean television for ten years, in 1985 he co-directed La Vie est Belle (Life is Rosy) with Benoît Lamy, a film that was a big hit in sub-Saharan Africa. In 1998, he wrote Pièces d’identités (Identity Pieces), which won numerous awards. Bozar is devoting a Close-up to him.
