The Franco-Mozambican Cultural Centre (CCFM) in Maputo will be hosting the 22nd European Film Cycle until 9 May, an event that invites the Mozambican public to discover and share captivating stories through the seventh art. The event is part of the celebrations for Europe Day, 9 May.
The catalogue includes 11 films from Belgium, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the European Union Delegation, which will be bringing a co-production. The festival combines fiction, documentaries and comedy, addressing themes such as overcoming, education, environment and climate, migration, justice, human rights, inclusion of people with disabilities and the impact of war.
The opening session will feature the dramatic comedy “The Queen of Comedy”, brought by Sweden, which portrays the journey of a young woman in mourning who decides to transform her pain into humour. The programme also includes themed sessions with debates and moments of interaction with the public, such as a meeting with the French-Angolan singer Lúcia de Carvalho, protagonist of the documentary “Kuzola – A Canção das Origens” (France), and a debate after the screening of the Belgian film “Julie Mantém-se em Silêncio”.
The event is promoted by the Delegation of the European Union and Embassies and Cultural Institutes of the Member States and non-members of the European Union in Mozambique.
