This screening is followed by a Q&A with director Renaud Barret.

Kinshasa, a city of eleven million people, is home to an emerging wave of street artists who’s vibrant, disturbing works function as political commentary on the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country plagued by civil unrest, poverty and corruption. French director Renaud Barret follows the exploits of one such group, the titular Systeme K, a wildly inventive collective whose artists employ waste products, fire, paint, wax and blood to make arresting, taboo-breaking installations and kinetic performance pieces, in spite of the constant harassment of the authorities, and the risks posed to their lives.
