Tuesday 9th April, 7 – 9pm: Omen Premiere presented by Cinebur x Maona x Aya Films

In collaboration with Maona and Aya Films, Cinebur is supporting the UK premiere of Baloji’s debut film OMEN with a screening at Shoreditch Arts Club.

Winning the NEW VOICE Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes, and Belgium’s entry to the OSCARS® this year, OMEN creates a phantasmagoria of Africa and marks a stunning debut from the polyvalent Belgian-Congolese artist Baloji.

This magic realist film is a tale of family, relationships, suspicion and belonging. It centres Koffi, a young Congolese man, navigating the thin layer between reality and sorcery to weave a distinct, deeply impressionistic aesthetic.
