"From Boé to Berlin – A Mobile Laboratory on the Film History of Guinea Bissau": On May 23 the exhibition "Regulado" by Filipa César und Suleimane Biai opens at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) as part of the Visionary Archive project. In her films and installations, Filipa César explores the post-colonial constellations that were spawned by the recent history of Portugal. Since 2011, her research is focused on the film production in Guinea-Bissau, the beginnings of which were closely linked to the struggle for liberation. "Regulado" (2014) is Filipa César’s second collaboration with Suleimane Biai. In the framework of Visionary Archive both filmmakers, together with Sana na N’Hada, organize a mobile laboratory on the film history of Guinea-Bissau under the title "From Boé to Berlin". The central module of this project is a mobile cinema throughout Guinea-Bissau, where the recently re-emerged archive material from the national film archive INCA (Instituto Nacional de Cinema e Audiovisual) shall be brought up to date, among other things, in the places of their origin.

In the "It all depends" series at Arsenal on 25.5., they will be showing the results of their film shoot in Guinea Bissau in February 2014 and presenting their planned traveling cinema project, which is intended to bring back films from the decade of decolonialization (1970–1980) to the places they were originally made. Two films from our archive (POR PRIMERA VEZ by Octavio Cortázar, REASSEMBLAGE by Trinh T. Minh-ha) and a documentary by Sana na N'Hada from the early years of the independent Guinea Bissau lay out film historical threads for the discussion.
