The rest were published on various websites and online archives. Coming from all over Portugal, they portray a distant place and time, and reveal a war as it was experienced but also imagined. Both banal and extraordinary, they reveal the many worlds of a long and anachronistic war that a dictatorship sent them to fight. <\/span>We hope they will encourage and inspire a broader debate<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Maria Jos\u00e9 Lobo Antunes e In\u00eas Ponte<\/span><\/p>\n Curators<\/span><\/p>\n A War Kept includes the possibility of listening to some of the stories behind soldiers\u2019 photographs, using QR codes.

A recent Angolan documentary unlocks memories of those who fought for the liberation of Angola. Two Portuguese productions are featured in the second session: a television documentary about the circulation of messages to and from soldiers deployed in the three theatres of operations in Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique, and a short fiction about the social impact of war through the lens of popular culture.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2713\u00a0 28 january, 15h30\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After more than 40 years, this documentary finds and reveals the past in maps, photographs, documents, newspapers and, above all, in living memories. <\/span>The film is made from the point of view of the generation that participated in the liberation struggle and who share their memories with us.

Deus N\u00e3o Quis<\/span><\/i> is based on the the popular song <\/span>Laurindinha<\/span><\/i>. It tells the story of Ramiro, a young man, who leaves to war; of his return and his alienation from the love of his life, Laurinda. This short fiction departs from a Portuguese popular culture song to reflect on the social impacts of a long lasting and geographically distant war. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Natal-71-1024x736.png\")
Natal 71 <\/span><\/i>i<\/span>s the name of a record given to the soldiers deployed in the Portuguese colonies overseas for Christmas 1971. Niassa’s Songbook is the title of an audiotape illegally recorded by soldiers during the war years, in Mozambique. They are memories from a country which was shut from the rest of the world, poor and ignorant, laid to sleep by a stale and primitive propaganda which tried to hide all the conflicts and keep the people from thinking and recognising the repressive nature of the regime they were living in. The documentary departs from the director\u2019s family memories, and reflects on the country in which she grew up at.<\/span>
