Detalhes do Evento
International conference, film exhibition, and artistic meeting on the role of cinema and the media in the processes of African decolonisation.
O Nascimento (em Imagens) das Nações Africanas:
Média e Descolonizações
A NOVA FCSH e a Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa vão acolher a conferência internacional O Nascimento (em Imagens) das Nações Africanas: Média e Descolonizações. Paralelamente, a Cinemateca Portuguesa junta-se ao evento com uma mostra de filmes a partir das representações das independências nos arquivos italianos (Independências nos Arquivos Italianos) e a Hangar – Centro de Investigação Artística acolhe o encontro artístico Artivismo e Descolonizações. O encontro artístico decorre no dia 17 de Outubro.
A mostra de filmes destaca obras de referência ligadas às lutas anti-coloniais africanas, cujas exibições diminuíram ao longo do tempo. Entre os filmes apresentados estão Africa Nera, Africa Rossa, de Carlo Lizanni, filmado em Angola pós-independência; I Dannati Della Terra de Valentino Orsini; e Reconstrução, Educação, realizado por Flora Gomes. Outros títulos incluem A Proposito Dell’Angola, de Augusta Conchiglia, e Dieci Giorni Con i Guerriglieri del Mozambico Libero, testemunhando a solidariedade internacional nas lutas de libertação africanas.
