Cinema: Independence and Reconstruction of Mozambique
Film Show about the Mozambican Independence and Reconstruction Process, to be held between July 17 and 20, with the daily projection of historical moments.
The process of independence and reconstruction of Mozambique was a historic moment of great convergence between Mozambican and Brazilian filmmakers. Filmmakers of both nationalities closely followed the process of Mozambique's independence, as well as the years that followed the reconstruction of the state, and produced films and books on the subject. The objective of the Mostra is to show some films that illustrate this very rich period of formation of the country, in which filmmakers from both countries sought to contribute to the development of Mozambique.

Film: Vinte e Cinco (Twenty five), by José Celso Martinez Corrêa and Celso Lucas (1975)
A film from the point of view of the colonised. 25 tells the story of the resistance and struggle of the Mozambican people. Filmed in 16mm, in various parts of the country, during the festivities that followed the independence of Mozambique, 25 brings within it all the joy of a people that is free. Through access to the abundant documentation in Portugal, the filmmakers were able to go through the different phases of colonisation of that African country, from the invasion of the arrival of Vasco da Gama, domination through colonial enterprises, the still tribal resistance of Mozambicans, massacres, from the beginning of the decolonising conscientisation to the ten years of the people's war against the Portuguese army until independence and subsequent national reconstruction."
