Opening night Friday, April 12 at 7:00 p.m.: Q&A with Baloji moderated by Farima Kone Kito

After spending years in Belgium, Koffi (Marc Zinga), a young Congolese man, returns to his birthplace of Kinshasa to confront his family and homeland culture. Secrecy and sorcery erupt when a nosebleed is mistaken for a curse, and Koffi is shunned from his family. Using magical realism to paint a portrait of “undesirables” and “sorcerers,” OMEN delves into the intricacies of identity, culture, and belief systems through a deeply rich and visually captivating lens.

Official Selection: Cannes Film Festival, Winner: Un Certain Regard - New Voice Prize
