The Uncanny

"The Uncanny" is a documentary project conducted in Congo DR, in the provinces of Kinshasa, Bas-Congo, Bandundu, Kasaï, and Katanga since the political elections of Fall 2011.

It was carried out by accompanying family members, political personalities, religious leaders and local TV in order to document the events that rhythm the life of the country's inhabitant and to try and understand the complexity of Congolese society (concurrently recovering part of my own identity).

This story brings a vision of the country experienced from within. It tries to show the collateral impacts instead of the direct hits. It focuses on daily conflict rather than international crises.
