At Slamdance Film Festival, Red Broadwell interviews writer/director, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, of Memories of Love Returned.
On April 24th, 2002, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine’s car broke down in the small town of Mbirizi, Uganda. While waiting for the car’s repair he stumbled upon a photo studio and met photographer Kibaate Aloysius Ssalongo, whose work spanned from the late 1950’s up till 2006 when he passed away.
This chance encounter turned into a 22 year journey documenting and exploring Kibaate’s life and photography and the profound impact it had on Ntare’s life and the lives of the entire community he documented.
The film is centered on a large-scale outdoor exhibit in Kibaate’s hometown, which led to the community’s discovery of long lost photos, family secrets and never before seen family members all being brought to life through Kibaate’s work.
