Cacheu

Cacheu is a film that showcases Filipa César's distinctive method of using a single shot, allowing the 16mm film to run continuously without edits. This technique emphasizes the performative aspect of the work, blending text, acting, and visual framing crafted by cinematographer Matthias Biber.

The film features a lecture performed by Joana Barrios, which connects César's research on four colonial statues located in the Cacheu fortresses of Guinea Bissau. These fortresses, built by the Portuguese in 1588, serve as a backdrop for the themes of colonialism and historical memory that the film addresses. The combination of performance and visual storytelling highlights the complexity of the subject matter, appealing to those interested in experimental and culturally significant works.
