Sessió de curts + concert de "Naila de Swardt"

The Festival Internacional de Cinemes Africans de Catalunya and Hip Hop Works, in collaboration with Hip Hop CineFest, present an afternoon of short films as part of Perifèria Beat. FICAC presents "As aventuras do Angosat" (34 min, Spanish subtitles).

In 2017, Angola launched its first satellite into space… and it got lost. "As Aventuras do Angosat" is the dream born from that frustrated dream. A musical written and performed by Isis Hembe, one of the prominent names in Angolan urban music, here transformed into Man Ré.

Filmed in a single continuous shot in the Cazenga neighbourhood of Luanda, featuring emerging new talents. Hip Hop Works presents "Asili: Creative Voices, Swahili Rhythms" (17 min, Catalan subtitles).

In the heart of Tanzania, ASILI explores the vitality of the local art scene through portraits of musicians, visual artists, and performers committed to a cultural redefinition of their territory.

A visual and sonic immersion into a space where creation becomes a tool for social connection, resilience, and identity expression. Prior performance by Naila de Swardt. Naila De Swardt is a singer and songwriter from Barcelona.

Her musical project fuses hip-hop, reggae, and R&B through a repertoire of her own compositions in Catalan, Spanish, and English.

Her lyrics stem from personal experiences and address themes such as identity, human relationships, personal growth, and social critique, whilst exploring the balance between reflection and musical expression.

This activity forms part of the musical documentary film series, featuring screenings, prior performances, presentations, and debates: 15/10 Hip-hop short film session + Naila de Swardt; 19/11 Deep listening: The story of Pauline Oliveros + Edi Pou; 10/12 Palestinian Vibes + Iyad Staiti.
