"Ancestral Visions of the Future" is a new cine-memoir from Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese, the Lesotho-born director best known for the acclaimed 2019 film "This Is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection". Reviewed by the Guardian, the film blends a dense, literary voiceover with vivid, propulsive imagery to explore Mosese's upbringing in Lesotho from his current vantage point in Berlin, using the personal story to probe questions of exile, identity and the legacy of colonialism on his homeland.

The film centres on Mosese's complicated relationship with his mother, whose aspirations for a better life for her family are woven throughout, and touches on colonial history through symbolic imagery such as red fabric evoking the "carving up" of the country. Rather than a linear narrative, it embraces a cyclical, at times mystical structure, moving between rural scenes of toil and urban episodes including violence and tragedy, before landing on the more hopeful figure of Sobo, a Maseru-based martial artist and herbalist. The review characterises the result as an intense, visually striking "homecoming" that leaves a lasting impression.
