On Zenith’s Edge
Natyvel comes from a people in Gabon - the Fangs - where the dead never leave the living. But since becoming Christians, they can no longer hear them. Lost between what she knows and what she sees, the director leads a spiritual quest that reveals the history of a traditional religion that has not been passed on.

The film begins with an inward voice, a persistent murmur like the song of spirits that transcend words. It's a voice that will inform the entire quest we're about to embark on. This introspection plunges us into personal narratives and aims to reconstitute the memory of territories, peoples, and traditional cultures that have been rendered invisible. For this memory is still there, underpinned, by a need to understand and know who we were before we were discovered? It's also a call to new generations to understand, reconstruct and reappropriate history, for the future of identities.
