AFRONAUTS (dir. Nuotama Bodomo)
“It’s July 16, 1969: America is preparing to launch Apollo 11. Thousands of miles away, the Zambia Space Academy hopes to beat America to the moon in this fictionalized film inspired by real events..”
Vernac Media was born from a shared pan-African experience of being prohibited from speaking the vernacular & indigenous languages at school, and yet, they spoke them. “We are a growing, traveling collective conducting a series of media distribution experiments that seek to explore the networks that enable us to talk to each other, to conspire, and to talk dangerously in plain sight.” – Nuotama Bodomo / Vernac Media
