System K

About This Movie

System K is one of those films that pulls you right into the heart of Kinshasa’s street art scene, which is vibrant yet chaotic, much like the city itself. You feel the pulse of the urban environment in every frame. The documentary aspect is raw, blending interviews with artists who are not just creating art but are responding to the political climate around them. The pacing can be a bit erratic, mirroring the unpredictability of daily life there, which adds to its authenticity. The performances, if you can call them that, are genuine and unscripted, providing a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs within this artistic community. It's a fascinating exploration of creativity as a form of resistance.
