The next screening of CineMar will be Bafatá Filme Clube (2012) directed by Silas Tiny.
Set in Bafatá, Guiné-Bissau, the film tells the story of a city club that was once a cinema. Canjajá Mane, an old cinema operator and guard reminisces the time when the cinema club was full of people. Bafatá also serves as a poignant reflection of the economic, and social conditions of a place that continues to be home to many.
Join us on November 28 at 8:30PM at 522A for the screening of this thought-provoking film, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker Silas Tiny. Silas Tiny is a filmmaker from São Tomé and founder of the production company OSSOBO Filmes. Bafatá Filme Clube (2012) is his first feature-length documentary, in which he reflects on the effect of post-colonialism in the town of Bafatá in Guiné Bissau and the result of the passage of time in this place, through an old deactivated cinema, guarded by a former projectionist (2023).
This screening is in partnership with the production company Real Ficção.
