Kin Kiesse is a 1982 documentary film about "Kin" (Kinshasa), the capital of Zaire, and the capital of paradoxes and excesses, commentated on by one of its naïf artists, the painter Chéri Samba. We discover the "Kin" of night clubs, high buildings, bicycle-taxis, shoe shiners and hairdressers, the "Kin" of poor neighborhoods, but, above all, the “Kin” of music, where all the genres rub elbows, from beer party brass bands to the rumba to traditional dances, without leaving out the in-fashion bands of the time.

According to the film's director, Mweze Ngangura, Chéri Samba was instrumental in the making of the film, convincing the French Ministry of Co-operation, France 2 and Congolese television that Ngangura could make a film on Kinshasa.

Synopsis

Kin Kiesse est un portrait de « Kin » (Kinshasa), capitale du Zaïre, mais aussi capitale des paradoxes et de la démesure, commenté par un de ses artistes dits « naïfs », le peintre Chéri Samba. On y découvre la « Kin » des boîtes de nuits, des buildings, des pousse-pousse, des cireurs de chaussures, des coiffeurs, la « Kin » des quartiers pauvres mais surtout la « Kin » de la musique où tous les genres se côtoient, depuis les fanfares de la fête de la bière, jusqu'à la rumba et aux danses traditionnelles, en passant par les orchestres les plus branchés.

Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis is largely an avant-garde film, and does not have a story or a plot. However, the events of the film are arranged to simulate the passage of a single day (simulated from an assemblage of film shot over the period of one year). Shots and scenes are cut together based on relationships of image, motion, point of view, and thematic content. At times, a sort of non-narrative commentary can be implied, as in edits that juxtapose workers entering a factory with cattle being beaten and driven into a corral.
