The film's director, Miguel Eek, will take part in a Q&A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agronomist, poet, utopian thinker, and revolutionary... Often referred to as the African Che Guevara, Cabral led the anti-colonial movement in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde against Portuguese colonialism until his murder in 1973. Human rights, utopias, interracial love, ambition, war, and betrayal are the ingredients of this free portrait crafted with archival images and an imaginary diary in 16mm film. A cinematic documentary that expresses all the modernity of Cabral's world vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. september, kl 15:15 (3:15pm<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director: Maja Holand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against the backdrop of Norway\u2019s notorious black metal scene, HEX follows three young women (Nikoline, Victoria, and Johanna) as they form Witch Club Satan without knowing how to play a single instrument. Over the next three years, they devote themselves to becoming both witches and musicians, embracing black metal as an outlet for fierce female power. But as the band gathers force, it begins to take on a life of its own, challenging their unity, convictions, and ideas of freedom. Shadowed by the legacy of historical witch trials, the film asks what it means to be a free woman today, and whether witches are still being condemned to silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
