“Conakry” is a 16 mm single shot film and part of the project “Luta ca caba inda”. The film travels through time, space and media to revisit the political landscape of Guinea Bissau. Staged at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin and based on 70s archival images of the Conakry Congress at the Palais du Peuple shot by Flora Gomes, Sana na N’Hada, Josefina Crato and José Cobumba Bolama, the film layers fictional media accounts of the archive, subjective readings of the images, and questions the role of these images, post-African liberation. César invited the Portuguese writer Grada Kilomba and the American radio activist Diana McCarty to reflect on the images and their history. “Conakry” describes and exposes how accessing almost forgotten footage of militant imaginary can be an instrument for recovering memory.
