The African cinema that travels outside the continent tends to largely come from nations that were formerly French- and English-speaking colonies, but there is an equally rich and too often overlooked filmmaking tradition from Africa’s Lusophone countries—the six countries of the former Portuguese Empire, including Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique. This program shines a spotlight on the cinema that emerged from Lusophone Africa, including the Portuguese Creole-language films of Bissau-Guinean Flora Gomes. Films addressing the struggles of liberation from Portuguese rule as well as the challenges faced once liberation had been won, and films that themselves are triumphs in the fight for emancipation.
