We create films on themes as social inequality and human rights. Our main goals are to raise broad public awareness and to encourage individual action. Lambo Films also collaborates with investors that are committed to a strong corporate responsibility. Daniel Lambo founded the company around 1997 with these social objectives in mind. As a writer, producer and director, he is known for his guerril
la style of filmmaking. His first feature film, Miss Homeless (2010), was a raw but humorous docu-fiction that addressed homelessness on the streets of Brussels. The film premiered in 12 different countries on The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This blend of documentary footage, a fictional story and improvised acting was also used in Dry Branches of Iran (2012). Set during the Green Revolution in Iran, this film tells the story about a young dancer who wakes up in a prison cell without knowing how he got there. Dry Branches of Iran was shot clandestine and entirely on smartphones to avoid censorship by the Iranian Government. Traumland (2013) took a more meditative approach. In this poetic film, a hermit-like editor finds a wounded Congolese stowaway on his houseboat. The encounter forms the starting point of a strange journey and a reflection on ethnic diversity. Daniel Lambo’s latest feature, Booster (2014), explores the lives of urban teenagers in Brussels. Characterized by an energetic visual style and soundtrack, this youth film deals with identity struggles, grief and road safety. Human stories and raw creativity form the foundation of these films. An approach that is strengthened by a modest belief that cinema can have an impact on the way we look at the world.
