Description

This short film is part of the Revisionaries Short Program.

Without ever having travelled, Dr. Jules Lhomme amassed over 3,000 artifacts, becoming one of the world’s first collectors of African art. What was once considered a cabinet of curiosities now resembles a coffin of colonial atrocities, in this haunting animated archive of imaginary exploration and realized exploitation. Angie Driscoll
