The Storm Was Coming / Anunciaron tormenta
by Javier Fernández Vázquez
(Fiction, Spain, 2020, 88’, C, En ST)
with Justo Bolekia Boleká, Reha-xustina Bolekia Bueriberi, Nieves Posa Bohome
In 1904, Ësáasi Eweera, the last native Bubi leader who opposed the Spanish rule at the current island of Bioko, Equatorial Guinea, was detained by colonial guards and died three days later. By reenacting handwritten reports and letters through voiceovers, taping and studying native oral accounts and identifying historically charged sites, A Storm Was Coming reflects on the gaps, silences, contradictions and falsehoods that colonial history is usually built upon.
« Pushing beyond the confines of accepted colonial histories, the solo debut feature from Spanish director Javier Fernández Vázquez is an audiovisual experiment rooted in rigorous anthropological research. … A Storm Was Coming offers a counter- narrative to the traditional history of Spain’s complex relationship with Equatorial Guinea, its former colony. » ica.art
