Joely Mbundu werd geboren in Ganshoren en droomde er al vroeg van om actrice te worden. Ze groeide op in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, studeerde in Vlaanderen en danste al jaren in uiteenlopende stijlen \u2014 klassiek, hip-hop en jazz. Haar grote doorbraak kwam toen een vriendin haar een tip gaf over een casting, en ze zo belandde op de set van <em>Tori et Lokita<\/em> van de gebroerders Dardenne. In die film vertolkte ze Lokita, een jonge vrouw die met grote kracht uiterst moeilijke levensomstandigheden trotseerde \u2014 een rol die ze met haar eigen innerlijke kracht \u00e9n gevoeligheid invulde. De film werd geselecteerd voor Cannes 2022 en leverde haar een plek op als een van de tien meest veelbelovende jonge Europese talenten tijdens de Shooting Stars op de Berlinale.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Daarna volgde <em>Green Border<\/em> van Agnieszka Holland, een aangrijpend drama over de vluchtelingen die op de grens tussen Belarus en Polen als speelballen heen en weer worden gestuurd \u2014 opnieuw een film die maatschappelijke urgentie combineert met menselijke diepgang.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Nu is Joely Mbundu te zien in <em>Real Faces<\/em>, het debuut van de Vlaamse regisseur Leni Huyghe. De wereldpremi\u00e8re vond plaats op SXSW 2025, waarna de film ook te zien was op festivals in Thessaloniki, Spanje en Zuid-Afrika.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Vanaf woensdag 22 april draait <em>Real Faces<\/em> bij ons in de zalen.
