When the Rain Comes is a multi-screen film exposition that invites viewers into landscapes where mountains, rivers, and rainstorms raise urgent questions about the way the world is turning. Natural elements become both stage and metaphor for stories of social struggle—some glowing with resilience, others mourning what cannot be retrieved.
The title refers to a film by Paul Shemisi, member of Collectif Faire-part, who visits a neighbourhood in Kinshasa with his camera. Residents show him the consequences of the climate crisis in the form of mudslides and floods – their suffering, their strength, their resistance. From this starting point, Collectif Faire-Part collects short films that present natural elements both as arena and as symbols for social change.
