Event Details

Riva is an operator, a man with charm and ambition in equal measure. Kinshasa is an inviting place. With petrol in short supply in DRC’s capital, he and his sidekick pursue a plot to get hold of a secret cache — barrels of fuel they can sell for a huge profit. Of course, they’re not the only ones who want the stuff.
Viva Riva! (2010, 98 min) is unprecedented: a story set in contemporary Democratic Republic of the Congo full of intrigue, music, and a surprisingly frank approach to sex. It merges the pleasures of Nollywood with sleek camerawork, satisfying genre thrills, and a rare look inside the very heart of the continent.
