This beautiful film about the immigrant experience is a San Francisco film about Eritrea. Sephora Woldu plays "Sephora" who, like the director, is an architecture student but also a filmmaker. She is pitching to her traditional mother a film she wants to make about a man who fled their home country and ended up in San Francisco. As a recently arrived immigrant, he is terribly homesick for his native Eritrea, but will not admit it due to unease towards speaking ill of the country; and more consciously in hesitance of admitting hard truths about his culture and himself. "It’s colorful and visually whimsical in a way that can only be described as if the Wizard of Oz went to Africa," said Woldu.

Cinema Impero takes its name from the eponymous movie theater located in the center of Asmara, Eritrea, and built in 1937 during the Fascist regime. The video centers on a metanarrative that weaves together different spatial and temporal planes and various linguistic elements: materials drawn from the historical archive of Istituto Luce–Italy’s state-owned film company–and from the artist’s own private archive, recounted and interpreted by two voices and two intelligences. One artificial and one emotional. Cinema Impero is a black box, a device that encompasses cinematic, theatrical, and algorithmic languages. The work was originally presented as part a performance conceived for one viewer at a time. Placed at the center of historical macro-narrative, the individual spectator was confronted with a space of warm proximity to the artist, an intimate space of otherness shared between narrator and listener.
