mother, you have not died yet. but you will. and when you do, you will finally be alive again.
2026. 74min.
World Premiere at FID Marseille 37
In a post-apartheid Indian township in Durban, South Africa-still fraught with internalized colonial violence, Lishana tends to her dying mother. Attempting to process the experience, she turns to her own art practice and ends up dissolving the boundaries between the personal and the national, the tangible and the mystical, the living and the dead.
Part document, part re-enactment, part imagined, the film navigates the tensions that remain etched in the nation.
