Man Ré dreams that of traveling to the space. There he finds voices that speak to him, his hopes, his fears, the ministers who appear on TV... Everything goes well until his ship breaks down… and realizes that he is alone.

Film synopsis

Man Ré dreams of traveling the outer space... and what if this happens?

--

Angola launched in 2017 its first satellite into space... and got lost. “The Adventures of Angosat” is a retelling of this dream. An indie musical film written and performed by Isis Hembe, one of the most renowned Angolan urban artists. It brings together upcoming artists from the streets of Cazenga (Luanda) in a unique one-shot fiction film.

Shooting the first Angolan musical has been an adventure in itself. The acting and the singing are all live and the sound of the people, doors, motorbikes... are real, just like everyone on camera.

It combines immersive sound landscapes you can hear in Dolby Atmos with images shot with limited mobility camera movements.

This project has been a once-in-a-life time experience for everyone. Having Isis Hembe on board, one of the most well-known faces of the Mudei -the biggest social movement in Angola-, has been a blessing.

The screening will be celebration full of joy, with music!
