two from angola
In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Lusophone Africa from Portuguese control in 1975, the Cinematheque will present two contemporary Portuguese language movies from Angola. The two spirited and entertaining features, Our Lady of the Chinese Shop and Air Conditioner, were produced by a collective of filmmakers known as Geração 80, and the movies probe deeply, and provocatively into the social, political, and economic structures of Angola.
