We talked with Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese which takes part in Vive le cinéma!, where four filmmakers turn their practice of making films for a cinema into creating film installations for an exhibition hall.
Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese is a filmmaker and visual artist hailing from Hlotse, Leriba, Lesotho. His works is a complex investigation of identity and its amophorous quality in relation to time. Indeed, Mosese’s art is a layered exploration of the physical cycles of life, death and rebirth in relation to human subjectivity.
A self-taught filmmaker, his feature-length, visual essay film 'Mother, I am Suffocating. This is My Last Film About You', was selected for Final Cut in Venice, winning six awards. It premiered at the Berlinale Forum in 2019 and continues to be showcased in film festivals and exhibitions, including MoMA and BOZAR Brussels. Mosese was one of three filmmakers selected for Biennale College Cinema with his
second narrative feature film, 'This Is Not A Burial, It's A Resurrection,' which won over 30 awards, including the Jury Award for Visionary Filmmaking at Sundance Film Festival 2020.
Mosese's most recent work is a seven-channel video installation entitled 'Bodies of Negroes: Sculpting God' commissioned by Eye museum. And a four channel video installation titled NEW GOD commissioned by Humboldt Forum. Mosese served as a jury for several film
festivals, including the Berlinale International film festival, Rotterdam and Locarno.
He has been invited to be a guest lecturer for several institutions like Cambridge University.
