Join the second session of Thawra Archive’s film residency series, where we will be focusing on revolutionary cinema from Latin America.
Anti-Colonial Film Units, shaped by the spirit of Third Cinema, emerged across the South as a response to Colonial Film Units and as vital practices of counter-archives, seizing and subverting the colonial lens into mediums of political weapon, in service of liberation and revolution.
Held on the last Thursday evening of every month, we will be focusing on Anti-Colonial Film Units from geography to geography month by month. In our beginning session, we began with the continent of Africa, which will be followed by Latin America in April, and concluding with the continent of Asia in May.
Not an institutional or academic gathering by any sense, join us for informal film screenings, discussions, readings, on the theme of Anti-Colonial Film Units, exploring their history and relevance to the Colonial Present that we continue to live in today.
