MOONS of CAVIA: El Concursante

Short url: 

https://squ.at/r/8bif

The winter-sleep might have been strangely long, but this summer, as always, we will celebrate our love for cinema in full moonlight. Cavia’s MOONS will take place across the whole month of July on three Fridays and three Saturdays in our building’s courtyard. We will present an eclectic, vibrating, and savage array of films that run from punk destruction and illegal raves to remote beauties and little- known charms. Summery love-stories, rebelliousness, timeless encounters, and a special attention to all kinds of music.

The entrance for all the events is free but donations will be very much appreciated.

Doors and bar opens at 19.00
Films start at 21.00

EL CONCURSANTE (The Contestant)
Carlos Osuna | 2018 | Colombia | 82’ | EN subs

El Concursante immerses us in the torrid city of Cartagena where a never-ending queue has been formed to claim one of the 2,000 pressure cookers that a famous brand has promised to give away. Through its rich diversity of characters, music, and customs the film creates a piercingly humorous portrait of inequality and poverty. The main reasons, moreover, why strikes and protests have spread through the country in the last months.

From 19:00, DJ’s Mitze Apocalypse and Chucho Vinilo will be spinning Colombian records - from punk to cumbia, hailing from the Caribbean to the Andes.

Donations of this evening will go to collectives in Colombia helping and working with communities affected by the police and paramilitary brutality that arose with the strike. In collaboration with Cinema Colombiano.
