AFRYKAMERA
AFRICA MOVING
The set comprised of 5 short dance films:
ZOMBIES
Recommended. Techno mixed with African rhythms, flashy costumes, humour, e.g. when a hairdresser comments on a spiky hair-do: "With your hair you could receive TV."
MUDANCA (UPHEAVAL)
Recommended. Poetic, hypnotising, with beautiful golden make-up.
INABITAVEIS (THE UNINHABITABLE ONES)
Watchable. The Brazilian film deals with homosexuality and the actors aren't particularly attractive. But the history behind it is thought-provoking: rebels got killed, other slaves stayed
MATATA
Recommended. Astonishing use of waste: flares in a scrap yard, wonderful dancers. Bizarrely exciting.
COMECA A FICAR TARDE (UNTIL LATE)
Recommended. History of the Congo depicted with artistry, appealing cinematography.
The set of 5 short films included as many as 4 mesmerising dance videos - wonderful on the big screen, less impressive when I tried to see them again online.
