Amsterdam-based DOXY FIXY strives to be a leading film production company: DOXY adds its long documentary experience to FIXY, grounded fiction, rooted in reality. FIXY in turn inspires DOXY. And, out of love, we have broadened our playing field with sports, with titles like Crystal Film-winner Louis and Becoming Zlatan. Together with directors, screenwriters and many others, we want to connect, inspire, inform and entertain. With a deep awareness of working together towards a result, being part of something bigger than yourself. And we like to push boundaries; we feel at home where styles, people and genres mix. That’s where magic happens. That’s what we call the X in film.

But when she leaves their son at Noah's door and runs off herself, the responsibility returns like a boomerang. Due to his resistance, his fear for being a father and a variety of conflicts as a result, Noah chooses to bring his son back. Finding his ex turns out to take much longer than Noah expected. This brings him at places he never imagined, turning the quest into a journey to himself and fatherhood.

The Story of Ne Kuko

Director: Festus Toll. Screenwriter: Festus Toll. Country: NL. Status: completed. Release: 2023. Duration: 25 min. Genre: documentary. Distribution NL: Amstel Film. Sales: First Hand Films.

In a vitrine at the Africa Museum in Tervuren stands the nkisi of Ne Kuko, far away from his Congolese home in the mountains of Boma. This mysterious power statue has been looted from its community and trapped behind glass for more than 100 years.

In The Story of Ne Kuko the ancestor’s voice brings the nkisi to life, describing how the land of Boma, ruled by nine chiefs until the 19th century, changed quick and radically with the arrival of the first Europeans.

Restitution activist Mwazulu Diyabanza has a mission to get African objects held in European museums returned to their homeland. He believes that change should not have to wait any longer and hopes his actions will spark discussion on the restitution of colonial heritage. Ne Kuko's story takes Mwazulu to highlands of Boma, unfolding the true meaning of statue.
