CineMar, the new film club organized by Mirian Vanda and Vera Fanizza (MA in Culture Studies), aims to build a community around watching films and having conversations together. Each academic semester, there is a cycle organized by monthly themes and two screenings per month.
In the organizers’ words, “Just like the sea, CineMar aims to create waves of connection through the universal language of cinema. In today’s world of individual streaming, we’re bringing back the magic of the collective experience by watching and discussing films together.”
The first gathering will be on October 29th at 7pm at the Auditorium D. Antònio Ribeiro (A3). The film to be shown is Ar Condicionado (2020) by Fradique, and there will be a special guest present at the screening.
The session will be held in English and the film has English subtitles.
One day, air conditioners in the Angolan capital Luanda start to mysteriously fall from the buildings. When security guard Matacedo is told to get his overheating boss an airco unit by end of day, he embarks on a mission that brings him into contact with the eccentric owner of an electronics store.
