Remember the name: Katy Correia (
@itskatycorreia ) ✨
From our childhood shenanigans to the big screen, she’s my bestie, my sister. I’m still filled with so many emotions after seeing the premiere on Thrusday at
@cinemalesvarietes.marseille in our hometown.
Katy’s daily life is worlds away from the film industry, but she has a rare, breathtaking accuracy in
@daolefilm . The press is raving about her and it’s no wonder. I recognise all her empathy and dignity on screen, qualities that everyone who knows her here in Marseille can vouch for.
A huge thank you to
@alain.gomis.3 for his vision and for chasing Katy until she said yes! What a gift this film is! It is stunning through its cinematography and score that stay with you long after the credits roll.
While it’s a powerful story rooted in our Manjak / Guinea-Bissau community, it touches on such universal themes of family, loss, and tradition that it connects to everyone, no matter where they are from.
In theatres April 29th! Go support
@daolefilm .
So proud of you, sis! Love you. 🇬🇼 x 🇸🇳
