When the Portuguese regime eventually left Cabo Verde in 1975, it uprooted many of the islands\u2019 infrastructures, including those connected to the film industry. As a result, filmmaking infrastructure has remained limited the past 50 years, with only two islands having access to a cinema. Yet through the continued passion and commitment of the Cape Verdeans, a cinema culture is being rebuilt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This programme focuses on the female filmmakers building the cinematic canon of Cape Verdean cinema \u2013 shining a light on the pride, joy and imaginaries of the past and present, and highlighting the special connection between Cabo Verde and Rotterdam, whose Cape Verdean diaspora played a crucial role in Cabo Verde\u2019s decolonisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening begins with the short documentary Cap-Vert, un carnaval dans le Sahel <\/strong>(1979) by Sarah Maldoror, widely considered the first Black female filmmaker in Africa. The film \u2013 one of the first depictions of Cape Verdeans in the wake of independence \u2013 is followed by the Dutch premi\u00e8re of Denise Fernandes\u2019s Hanami<\/strong>. Hanami<\/strong> earned Fernandes the Best Emerging Director Award at the Locarno Film Festival in 2024, and is a genuine, cinematic testament to the imaginaries of both today\u2019s Cape Verdean filmmakers and the younger generations across the diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t

    Cap-Vert, un carnaval dans le Sahel<\/b> is part of the \u201cCarnaval-trilogy\u201d, which was supported by the archipelago\u2019s first, and revolutionary, PAIGC government. The film focuses on the disruptive significance carnaval has for the Cape Verdean people, as a means of resistance against the imposed values of colonialism and racism. Through its textural and colourful depictions of the festival\u2019s preparations, the film gives us a glimpse into the newly independent Cape Verdean people\u2019s joy, inventiveness and resistance. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
