Moussa Sene Absa, Chris King and Maia Lekow in conversation with Kelvin Kariuki

Documentary as Memory

Nairobi Litfest 2026, 

A discussion on creative documentary storytelling with celebrated Senegalese filmmaker, Moussa Sene Absa and Kenya-based filmmaking duo, Maia Lekow and Chris King. Absa's charming, poetic films challenge dominant narratives while embracing the contradictions of post-colonial Senegalese life. Partners in life and art, Lekow and King employ an artful, long-form storytelling style —evident in their films, The Letter and How to Build a Library— that seeks to hold a mirror to our world and break down barriers.
