Cinema Klandestino and Cinemachete @ the Cube
Thursday March 19th. 7pm

Cinema Klandestino presents a night of screenings and performance in collaboration with Movimiento Cinemachete.

Cinemachete is a radical, international filmmaking movement, born in 2007 in the underground cafes, bars and art cinemas of Bogota, Colombia. Influenced by the revolutionary 'Third Cinema' movement that exploded all over Latin America in the 1960s, they are working to revive and reinvent political filmmaking for the 21st century.



Order of Events:

1. Cinemachete. Presentation of movement and the night's events. (5mins)

2. Trailer: Bathed by the Tiger (Banados por el Tigre) (10mins)

A chance to see a preview of this film that follows the lives of a family in Colombia who were displaced by paramilitaries 10 years ago. It shows the incredible strength, dignity and intelligence of one illiterate peasant and his family as they fight escape the city slums and build a new community in a land still haunted by violence.

3. Oury Jalloh (20mins)

Winner of the UNESCO/Amnesty International "German Human Rights Film Prize" this film is a powerful reflection on the life of an immigrant from Sierra Leone who was burnt alive in a German police cell in 2003. The film was written and acted by his friends.

4. Enoch's Voyage (15mins)

A performance in displacement (Dance, Sound and Visuals)

5. Cuatro Movimientos Por el Cuerpo Humano (Four Movements for the Human Body) (50mins)

6. Retreat to Bar!

Performance and Films starts at 8pm, doors at 7pm.
Followed by music and discussion.

Hi, I am a media studies student, doing some individual research into the representation of crime in Latin American cinema. I would be very grateful if anyone interested in this area could visit my blog and help me out with some primary research that I am conducting. The link is cschhcr2cole.blogspot.com
There is a questionnaire posted on my blog, and it would really help me out if some people could take the time to answer a few questions for my course.
Many thanks,
Bex cole
