I Mashoka

I MASHŌKA is a fiction made and produced in Burundi this year. I should say I MASHŌKA is a science fiction, since the story take place 2058. Jean Marie Ndihokubwayo and Pascal Capitolin are the directors of this long feature film and are exausted but greatfull for the release of our Film.
The 13 of June 2014 was premiere on the grand opening of this year internaional Film Festival in Burundi: FESTICAB

The story: Somewhere in Africa, February 27, 2058 Nijimbere Kamikazi testify in an interview about the escalation of violence which had a determinant influence over their relationship and their communities. 2017, The Banyamazi and the Bagabuzi live in peace, when as result on the global shortage of drinking water, difficult living conditions and decontamination of sources are getting more complicated. The conflicts between the two communities of the young secret couple oppress them. The spiral of violence inevitably separates Kamikazi and Nijimbere , their families and groups.
It is the first long fiction feature lenght since 1995. The excitement is huge and the particularity of this production is that almost all professionals of the Burundian film scene are involved.
Last but not least, I Mashōka won first price in the category 2014 East African Best Feature Film and best masculin role. We do hope now that our film will be seen in the great lake region and we will do our best, to present it at each festival in Africa and international festivals.
