SYNOPSIS
Poster for the film Mangrove School (2022) by Filipa César & Sónia Vaz Borges, produced by Spectre Productions, elsehere, Stenar Projects, Geba Filmes, Mediateca Onshore.
In the words of Filipa and Sónia: “We recently went to Guinea Bissau to research the guerrilla schools of the mangroves. Instead, we soon became ourselves the apprentices and the first lesson we had to learn was how to walk. If you walk straight, placing your heels on the ground first, you promptly slip and fall in the dams of the flooded mangrove rice field or you get stuck in the mangrove mud. You need to lower your body, flex your knees and stick your toes vertically into the mud, extend your arms forwards in a conscious and present movement. In the mangrove school the learning happens with the whole body.”
