"The moon", "the sun", "the land" and "the man" have often been central to the creation and maintenance of imperial narratives, but the light of the moon has never been singular. It cannot be owned, only shared.

This summer, Cavia will be illuminated by the light of many moons and sets of gleaming eyes. We will commune in the garden to share films, words, songs and food as a means of holding, listening, grieving, speculating and resisting.
 

August 15 - 18
Doors and bar open at 20:00
Films start at 21:15

Entry by donation / free with Cineville

→ Van Hallstraat 52, Amsterdam (+ follow the signs!)

In case of bad weather the screening will take place in a studio next to the garden.

The garden itself is accessible for wheelchairs, but getting to the toilets will require some special arrangements. Please reach out to info@filmhuiscavia.nl in advance to let us know what you need.

VOICE OF THE GLACIER
Yadykar Ibraimov | 2022 | Kazakhstan | 80’ | EN subs

Yadykar Ibraimov is an Uyghur filmmaker born and raised in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Past 12 years he has made films about Uyghur culture intertwined in plight of genocide and has shown them in various international festivals. With Feature Documentary Voice of the Glacier, he won a pitching for full support by the State Center for the Support of National Cinema of Kazakhstan. He and his crew document the melting Tujuksu glacier in Kazakhstan, which is an important water supply of the whole of Central Asia, with a sense of planetary crisis. In fact, the glacier will no longer exist by about 2050 like many other beings. It could be that Yadykar makes a film of the sublime and eerie looking glacier to show the genocidal cost of geopolitical borders with a haunting gaze of cinematography at our darkest time now.
