Félicité | Press Conference Video Highlights | Berlinale 2017Alain Gomis (Director, Screenwriter)
Félicité is a proud and independent woman who works as a singer in a bar in Kinshasa. Whenever she goes on stage, she appears to leave the world and her everyday worries behind. Her audiences are quickly infected by the rhythm of her music and her powerful, melancholy melodies. But then one day Félicité’s son has a terrible accident. Whilst he is in hospital she desperately tries to raise the money needed for his operation. A breathless tour through the impoverished streets and the wealthier districts of the Congolese capital ensues. One of the bar’s regulars is a man named Tabu who has been known to get carried away in every sense of the term. Tabu offers to help Félicité. Reluctantly, she accepts. After his spell in hospital, Félicité’s son has a hard time picking up his old life, but it is lady’s man Tabu of all people who manages to coax him out of his shell. Félicité’s sparsely furnished flat with its permanently defunct fridge becomes a mini utopia in a country that holds no hope for most of its population. The trio forms an eccentric community thrown together by fate, each of whom is free to go their separate ways together. by France / Senegal / Belgium / Germany / Lebanon 2017 Lingala 123 min · Colour WITHVéro Tshanda Beya (Félicité) CREWWritten and directed by Alain Gomis Director of Photography Céline Bozon Editor Fabrice Rouaud Music The Kasaï Allstars Sound Design Jean-Pierre Laforce, Fred Meert Sound Benoit De Clerck Production Design Oumar Sall (le grand) Costumes Nadine Ostobogo Boucher, Emma Zola Make-up Nadine Ostobogo Boucher, Ana Senghor Assistant Director Demba Deye, Delphine Daull Casting Roger Ngandu Kangudia, Deschamps Matala Shakembo Production Manager Oumar Sall Producers Arnaud Dommerc, Alain Gomis, Omar Sall Executive Producer Roger Ngandu Kangudia Co-producers Anne-Laure Guégan, Géraldine Sprimont, Vanessa Ciszewski, Georges Schoucair Co-production Need Productions, Brüssel
