It's July 16th 1969, America is preparing to launch Apollo 11. Thousands of miles away, the Zambia Space Academy hopes to beat the USA to the moon. Brian McOmber presents his stunning original soundtrack for Nuotama Bodomo's visionary short movie Afronauts, which premiered at Sundance and Berlinale film festivals.
A vivid score of melancholic tension and dream-like exploration to an underdog story from the perspective of exiles and outsiders whose narratives are lost or silenced to an iconic mainstream history that documents fact.
Inspired by true events, the short film directed by Nuotama Frances Bodomo, Afronauts tells an alternative history of the 1960s Space Race. Contrary to what Gil Scott-Heron thought at the time though, whitey was not the only one trying to get up on the moon. In Zambia, shortly after independence, science teacher Edward Makuka Nkoloso's dreams of space travel led him to establish the new nation's very own space academy. Without resources-the £7,000,000 grant from UNESCO never came through- he hoped to launch a spacegirl -17-year-old Matha-and two cats into space before America or Russia could.
