This video, one of two on loan courtesy of Scheryn Art Foundation, showcase Samson Kambalu's unique approach to making films. The style Nyau Cinema is a fragmented kind of filmmaking that he came into contact with as a child growing up in Malawi. Public screenings of lively Hollywood action films on the streets of Malawi would entertain onlookers; reels of footage would be cut up and joined with other action sequences purely for entertainment. These choppy amalgamations of iconic Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris films left such a mark on young Kambalu that it is now a central hallmark of his work.

Kambalu works in London. He has studied at the University of Malawi and gained a doctorate at the Chelsea College of Art and Design.  He works in a variety of media, including site-specific installation, video, performance and literature.
