JGPACA Film Club is back with a bang on Tuesday May 28th!
We are so happy to be screening Spell Reel by Filipa Cesar. This film has been shown in the UK only a handful of times since its release in 2017 so come and be part of a very special evening of film, archival materials display and wider conversation.
Spell Reel, the debut feature from Portuguese artist Filipa César, is a collaborative reflection on West African political history—and the role of moving images in the creation and legacy of that history. Based in Berlin for most of the last decade, César has worked closely with Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art in its initiative to preserve the history of revolutionary cinema in Guinea-Bissau through research, digitization, and dissemination of the holdings at the National Film Institute of Guinea-Bissau (INCA – Instituto Nacional de Cinema e Audiovisual).
