Malmö Konsthall X Spegeln: This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection

As part of the exhibition FLIGHT, Malmö Konsthall in collaboration with Biograf Spegeln is showing the film This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection (2019), directed by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese. Tickets are free, but needs to be booked.

When her village is threatened with forced resettlement due to reservoir construction, an 80-year-old widow finds a new will to live and ignites the spirit of resilience within her community. This is the starting point in This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection, directed by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese (born 17 Jan 1980). He is a Mosotho film director, screenwriter and visual artist living in Berlin.

At Spegeln, the film is introduced by Tawanda Appiah, a Zimbabwean curator and writer based in Malmö, Sweden. He is the curator of FLIGHT, the ongoing exhibition at Malmö Konsthall which features works by Kudzanai Chiurai, Frida Orupabo and Eric Magassa. It is an exhibition that presents what comes to the surface when we examine history with a critical eye.

The film is shown in a collaboration between Malmö Konsthall and Spegeln. The film is free, but requires a booked ticket and the number of places is limited. The film will be shown at Biograf Spegeln in the bistro salon Alcazar, which also offers the possibility to buy food and drinks for the screening. The film is shown with English subtitles. You must be on site at least 15 minutes before the film starts not to loose your ticket.

This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection has been screened at the Sundance Film Festival, La Biennale di Venezia, Berlin International Film Festival, Göteborg Film Festival, among many others.
