Congo Films is opening in Lima, Peru. The inaugural celebration will be from 5 pm – 10 pm on Thursday, October. 23.

The event will take place at Congo Films’ new facility at Jr. Juan Soto Bermeo 406, Surco, Lima, Peru. The festivities will include demos of new equipment, Peruvian food and Pisco drinks. Dedo Weigert, founder of Dedolight, and David Pringle, founder of Luminys (SoftSun and Lightning Strikes) will conduct master classes. We saw Dedo at Cinec the other day and I think he likes Pisco Sours (not confirmed.) Also flying in: Jan Kucera of SuperTechno and Ryo Kohno from Koto lamps of Japan.
