Welcome to the double screening of Statues Also Die(1953) and Dahomey(2024)!

Chris Marker and Alain Resnais' film Statues Also Die (Les statues meurent aussi) takes a critical look at the Western and colonial gaze directed toward African art objects. 70 years later, the same themes are addressed in Mati Diop's film Dahomey, which depicts the return of 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey to their historical homeland in present-day Benin.

Dahomey won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale in 2024 and was nominated for an Oscar the same year. The films are specially imported by Kunstnernes Hus Kino and are screened only here.
