Nome screening

In Nome, veteran filmmaker Sana Na N’Hada revisits his youth during Guinea-Bissau’s liberation struggle against Portuguese colonial rule. A magical realist coming-of-age tale, Nome blurs the lines between memory and history through docu-fictional narration, surrealist imagery, and personal archival footage.

Introduction by Associate Professor of Historical Studies at University of Toronto Mississauga, Julie MacArthur.
