In 2011, an archive of film and audio material re-emerged in Bissau. On the verge of complete ruination, the footage testifies to the birth of Guinean cinema as part of the decolonising vision of Am\u00edlcar Cabral, the liberation leader assassinated in 1973. In collaboration with the Guinean filmmakers Sana na N\u2019Hada and Flora Gomes, and many allies, Filipa C\u00e9sar imagines a journey where the fragile matter from the past operates as a visionary prism of shrapnel to look through. Digitised in Berlin, screened and live commented, the archive convokes debates, storytelling, and forecasts. From isolated villages in Guinea-Bissau to European capitals, the silent reels are now the place from where people search for antidotes for a world in crisis. <br><br><strong>Filipa C\u00e9sar<\/strong> <br><br>Filipa C\u00e9sar is an artist and filmmaker interested in the porous boundaries between the moving image and its reception, the fictional dimensions of the documentary and the economies, politics and poetics inherent to cinema praxis. Characterised by rigorous structural and lyrical elements, her multiform meditations often focus on Portuguese colonialism and the liberation of Guinea-Bissau in the 1960s and 1970s. This research developed into the collective project Luta ca caba inda (The Struggle Is Not Yet Over). She gained a MA Art in Context at the University of Arts, Berlin. Selected exhibitions and screenings include at the S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial, Manifesta 8, Cartagena, and the Contour 8 Biennial in Mechelen, Belgium, and Gasworks, London. Festival screenings include the Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Curtas Vila do Conde, Forum Expanded at the Berlinale and the International Film Festival Rotterdam.<br><br><strong>Related Programming<\/strong><br><br><a href=\"http:\/\/nevenlochhead.com\/?page_id=610\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/nevenlochhead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC01969.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"197\"><\/a><br><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Exhibition: <em>Conakry,<\/em> Filipa C\u00e9sar.
