Lusophone film festival brought to you by Queen Mary Uni

From November 9th to 13th there will a be a lusophone film festival, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of independence of the ex-colonies in Africa. There will be numerous films and each day a country will be the focus. Many panelists will be present so it ought to be very interesting. Above is one of the movies I recommend going to see. Nha fala is a movie by Flora Gomes from Guinea Bissau, it tells the story of a young woman facing traditions and finding herself. The movies has a lot of singing and dancing but behind it, you find out the sad reality of a country that since 98 has not been stable. Through the lyrics it depicts the social drama that has been happening in Guinea-Bissau but leaves you with hope. Go see it! check out the university of queen mary's website for more info.
