Amílcar by Miguel Eek
About the plan
The documentary "Amílcar", directed by Miguel Eek, will be screened at the Sala Teatro Timanfaya in Puerto de la Cruz. This film, co-produced by Spain, Portugal, France, Sweden, and Cabo Verde, is part of the Cabo Verde Showcase within the DOCanarias Festival.
Running for 87 minutes and with a planned release in 2025, the work delves into the life of Amílcar Cabral. Described as an agronomist, poet, and utopian thinker, Cabral was a key figure in the anti-colonialist movement against Portugal in Guinea-Bissau and Cabo Verde, until his assassination in 1973.
The film explores universal and complex themes such as:
- Human rights
- Utopias
- Interracial love
- Ambition
- War
- Betrayal
Shot on 16mm, the documentary is built from previously unseen archives and an imaginary diary based on Cabral's intimate writings, offering an intimate and profound perspective on his legacy. Admission for this screening is subject to charge.
Don't miss this documentary film event in Puerto de la Cruz on 09/09, an excellent cultural offering to enjoy in the north of Tenerife.
