PREMIER OF AMÍLCAR, MIGUEL EEK

Often called the African Che Guevara, Amílcar Cabral led the anti-colonial movement in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde against Portuguese colonialism until his assassination in 1973. Human rights, utopias, interracial love, ambition, war, and betrayal shape this free-form portrait built from archival footage and an imagined 16mm diary.

Following the screening of Amílcar (2025, original version with subtitles, 87 min, 8+), there will be a discussion with producer Javier del Álamo.
