The Franco-Mozambican Cultural Centre today hosts the eighth edition of the Kugoma – Mozambique Film Forum, featuring films by young Portuguese-speaking movie directors.
Director Samira Vera Cruz will participate in the opening session at 7:00 p.m., presenting her documentary “Buska Santu”, which centres on the relationship between a father and his son.
Afterwards, Melita Matsinhe on piano and Catarina Domingues on the accordion will play soundtrack music for the movie “Nightmare” shot on eight-millimetre film by José Cardoso in the city of Beira in 1968.
The film was digitised and edited onto DVD by Kugoma in collaboration with the author and will now have the soundtrack recreated live.
On Friday, starting at 6:30 p.m. three films will be screened to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the European Union’s Cooperation Programme with Portuguese-speaking African Countries (PALOP) and Timor-Leste.
The films are “Hora di Bai” by Samira Vera-Cruz (Cape Verde), “Mina Kiá” by Kátya Aragão (São Tomé and Príncipe) and “Tara Bandu” by Victor de Sousa (East Timor).
The screening will be preceded by a debate on how to assure continuity of the event promoting new names in the cinematic arts.
On Saturday there will be a session guided by director Ico Costa and his experience in Mozambique, and the forum closes with a showing of three short films produced by Terratreme under the theme “Filmar na Lusofonia”.
