African Beauty, Coréon Du (Angola, 2024)

An exploration as ambitious as it is empowering: shedding light on the diverse standards of beauty in contemporary Africa, beyond clichés.

This is who we are. This is what we believe in. This is our heritage. Angolan filmmaker Coréon Du embarks on a monumental and thrilling mission: capturing the richness of Africa’s modern identity and its expression through aesthetics. Through interviews with creators, the film unpacks challenges, nuances, stereotypes and the appropriation of a talent often overlooked by the Western gaze.

What stylistic elements have made their way into the pop culture imagination? What local particularities shape the voice of a continent with 1.4 billion people? The film embodies the exuberant, vibrant and powerful spirit of a community celebrating its full potential.

Film will be screened in original version with Spanish subtitles.

A film in the 2025 edition of Moritz Feed Dog.
