Alkebu Film Production has been founded besides Yolé !Africa to promote mainly the film productions of the organization's members.
It was initiated to develop the production of inventive, mindful and authentic works in the resourceful worlds of audiovisual and new technology. Right from its start, Alkebu Film productions aimed at producing challenging work by exploring the narrative possibilities of creative imagination, documentary, feature films, music videos and art based films.

Alkebu Film Production was founded by the filmmaker Petna Ndaliko Katondolo and the producer Yehudi Van de Pol.
The income of the promotion and distribution of the works sustain partly the activities of the artistic and cultural center Yolé!Africa.

BEHIND THE SCENES
The world is made of stories and humans enact the story they believe.

Petna and Chérie Ndaliko are devoted to social, political, ecological, and spiritual justice. As artists, academics, and activists their work is dedicated to transforming systems of oppression. To this end, they have created a decolonial curriculum, Decomposing the Colonial Gaze, and UzuriSanctuary, a biodynamic educational freedom farm.

In 2000 he founded Yole!Africa, a renowned cultural and educational center in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he is also Artistic Director of Alkebu Film Productions. He is currently the Artist in Residence at the Stone Center for Black History and Culture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
