Contemporary Capeverdean Cinema – cinema between islands, archives and the future

It’s about contesting narratives: not only narratives about Africa, Africans, Capeverdeans, and about our diverse perspectives, but also narratives about what cinema is, and what it can be, who gets to watch and be watched, who gets to speak and be heard. It is slow but necessary work. It is the work of re-inscribing our collective imagination with images that belong to us and that, in turn, transform us, and then the world.
