Kempinski (2007) is a science-fiction documentary without a script, in which Neïl Beloufa invites the inhabitants of a Malian village to speak about their vision of the future. In the middle of the night, illuminated by a lamp they hold in their hands, they describe in the present tense dreamlike and surreal visions in which cars speak, rockets spy on their lives, and humans and non-humans unite. Their stories transform this anonymous setting into a mystical and animist place, welcoming visions and fragmented memories. Interested in archetypes, Beloufa seems to echo artist Barbara Krüger’s statement, “the future belongs to those who can see it”, evoking the future and its articulation as both a site of power and a space for the liberation of imagination.
