| Synopsis |
Without having any real evidence, the director had the feeling that his ancestors came from Angola. He could not get a visa for Angola so he went to Congo Brazzaville.
His intention was to film people in their leisure time. In particular, he was interested in watching the local people water-skiing on the River Congo, with the two capitals Kinshasa and Brazzaville in the background. Western diplomats continued water-skiing even during the Civil War but for the film, a Congolese water-skier had to be found and trained. With the aid of several young local filmmakers, Everson has recorded images of Brazzaville in an idiosyncratic style. The title, BZV, is the airport code for Brazzaville.
