ICA Miami: Filipa César Lecture + Screening

Wednesday, October 18th at 7pm join us at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami for a screening of Spell Reel (2017, 96 mins), the debut feature film by Portuguese artist and filmmaker Filipa César, followed by a discussion.

Filipa Cesar is an artist and filmmaker interested in the fictional aspects of the documentary, the porous borders between cinema and its reception, and the politics and poetics inherent to moving image. Since 2011, she has been looking into the origins of the cinema of the African Liberation Movement in Guinea Bissau as a laboratory of resistance to ruling epistemologies. César premiered her first feature-length essay-film Spell Reel at the Forum section of the 67th Berlinale, 2017.
