A. de Oliveira CIAC/UALG- PT [email protected] Mírian Sumica Carneiro Reis UNILAB-Campus Malês [email protected] A conversa com Flora Gomes que resulta nessa entrevista teve origem em uma atividade de abertura do Encontro Virtual Literarte 5 anos, com vasta programação dividida em mesas- redondas e saraus (toda a programação está disponível no canal oficial da UNILAB no YouTube), realizada remotamente em outubro de 2020. A entrevista traduziu-se num rico bate-papo que uniu Flora Gomes em Bissau/Guiné-Bissau/África e nós (Jusciele Oliveira e Mírian Reis) em Salvador e Nova Soure/Bahia/Brasil1. Criado em outubro de 2015, cadastrado no Diretório de Grupos de Pesquisa do CNPq, o Literarte – Grupo de estudos em literatura e outras linguagens é composto por docentes, discentes e técnicos administrativos da UNILAB e de outras instituições de ensino superior. Em 5 anos de existência já formou estudantes de Iniciação Científica e Mestrado, com e sem financiamento de agências de fomento como a Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia (FAPESB) e o Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq), além de bolsas institucionais. Apesar de ser um grupo de pesquisa, cujas ações se desenvolvem através da leitura integrada de textos literários, cinematográficos, fotográficos e musicais e de referencial teórico- crítico, o Literarte sempre realizou momentos de partilha com a comunidade. Para além da formação de estudantes vinculados aos projetos, o grupo desenvolve periodicamente encontros com convidados externos que vêm ao Campus dos Malês compartilhar suas experiências e vivenciar os saraus Literarte.

  • Disruptive Film: Everyday Resistance to Power
    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Mon Oct 3 |8:30 pm| Jack H. Skirball Series $11 [members $8] Disruptive Film: Everyday Resistance to Power Curated by Ernest Larsen and Sherry Millner http://www.redcat.org/event/sherry-millner-and-ernest-larsen- disruptive-film-everyday-resistance-power Starting with their first presentation at the 2008 Oberhausen Film Festival, Sherry Millner and Ernest Larsen—artists, filmmakers, writers, educators, troublemakers—have curated and exhibited multiple programs of short films that critically and/or actively represent resistance to power all over the world. Carried out over decades, the duo’s groundbreaking research demonstrates not only the variety of everyday resistance strategies, but also a surprising diversity of experimental approaches to short-form nonfiction media. Their selection for REDCAT draws from works by an array of filmmakers including Ariella Azoulay (Israel/USA), Zanny Begg & Oliver Ressler (Australia/Austria), Filipa Cesar (Portugal), Chen Chieh-Jen (Taiwan), Chiapas Media Project (Mexico), Sylvain George (France), John Greyson (Canada), Armand Guerra & Le Cinéma du Peuple (France), Birgit Hein (Germany), Mosireen Collective (Egypt), Olga Poliakoff & Yann Le Masson (France/Algeria), René Vautier (France/Rhodesia/Algeria), Želimir Žilnik (Serbia), and Millner herself. In person: Sherry Millner, Ernest Larsen “Demontrates the remarkable power of film to engage, move, provoke and contend.” —Bill Nichols “Disruptive Film creates a constellation where the past and present meet. Film becomes a perfect metaphor where the past is simultaneously both too far and too near. It’s always beyond one’s reach, nothing more than the flickers of light and shadow, yet it’s also so immediate as it unfolds before us like a fevered dream, tempting us into its movement and ephemeral images.” – Chris Robé, Pop Matters “A visual demonstration of the powers of film.

  • O Cinema Da Guiné-Bissau
    O CINEMA DA GUINÉ-BISSAU THE CINEMA OF GUINEA-BISSAU EL CINE DE GUINEA-BISSAU Ute Fendler1 RESUMO: O cinema da Guiné-Bissau é, sobretudo, conhecido por duas grandes figuras, nomeadamente Flora Gomes e Sana na N’Hada. O texto faz uma introdução ao contexto histórico e traça uma evolução do ci- nema a partir da independência. Resume as grandes linhas temáticas e estéticas para abordar, na segunda parte, duas produções recentes. Os primeiros longa-metragens do cineasta Filipe Henriques, O espinho da rosa, e de João Viana, A batalha de Tabatô. Estes filmes indicam uma transformação no cinema guineense que assume o caminho de um cinema transnacional. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: cinema transnacional, Guiné-Bissau, gênero cinematográfico. Quando se fala do cinema da Guiné-Bissau, imediatamente o nome de Flora Gomes é evocado, um cineasta com reputação internacional, ainda que um dos poucos cineastas deste país. Por conseguinte, gos- taria de traçar neste artigo as grandes linhas da história do cinema guineense, antes de discutir três filmes que nos permitem ver uma abertura provável para novos horizontes. Breve Introdução à História do Cinema Guineense O nascimento do cinema em Guiné-Bissau está ligado à luta de independência desde 1963 até 1974. Amílcar Cabral era consciente do poder das imagens e enviou quatro jovens membros do movimento a países estrangeiros para que se formassem em cinema. Florentino (Flora) Gomes e Sana na n’Hada parti- ram para Cuba. Quando voltaram, a sua tarefa foi filmar - respectivamente - no sul e no norte do país para documentar a guerra. Em 1978, o Instituto Nacional de Cinema (INC) foi fundado, e cineastas estrangeiros vieram a Guiné-Bissau para participar no processo do nascimento da nação.
