The next RFN conference will be held in Genoa (13-17/06) – The Cfp is open!

We’re very happy to announce that the Genova conference is going ahead this year!

It’s taken some time due to problems with the organization at the local level, but we’re back on track, with a little help from the wonderful RFN Steering Group, and we’re finally ready to reopen the CFP for a few weeks. We’ve decided to reopen the call to give people a chance to participate if they hadn’t sent anything last year, when things still felt more uncertain. We’ll be accepting proposals until March 7th.
We’re going to get in touch with everyone who had already sent us a proposal last year in the next couple of weeks, so you’ll be hearing from us soon.

Please note that the conference email address is still rfngenova21, because it would be impractical to change it, so that’s not a typo in the CFP. The CFP is also available on the RFN website, where we’ll be publishing updates on registration and other practical information. Although this is going to be a festival/conference, we’re only accepting proposals for the conference bit (see CFP for details), not for films.
Here’s the link to the updated CFP on the RFN website:https://radicalfilmnetwork.com/conferences/genoa-2022/
We’re really looking forward to getting together again for the RFN conference and hope to see you in Genova next June!

Rashōmon in the Sahara. A new documentary by José Gonzalez Morandi

Inspired by “Rashōmon” by Akira Kurosawa, in which a single event is explained from different points of view, this new documentary project by José Gonzalez Morandi, brings together multiple narratives that make up a complex image of the Ifni-Sahara war, also known as the “forgotten war”. An episode of a wider decolonization process involving the whole Africa, from the 50s to the 70s.

The film aims to recover the memories of the veterans, trying to bring voices and memories out of oblivion. The idea was to place the story of the former LNA members and indigenous troops in the colonial armies that confronted them in its historical context and restore the complexity of the related versions in a polyphonic narrative through the film.

The documentary funded by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung (Dusseldorf) is avialable here:

Rashōmon team: Jean Philippe CORBELLINI ( Sound recording, cameraman, CNRS / MSH Val de Loire, Tours); Francesco CORREALE (Author, producer, CNRS / UMR 7324 CITERES, Tours); Camille EVRARD (Scientific expert, FRAMESPA, Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès); José GONZALEZ MORANDI (Director, editor, cameraman, Barcelone); Alberto LOPEZ BARGADOS (Author, producer, GRECS-Universitat de Barcelona).

Associated members in Western Sahara and Morocco: Mohammed Mohammed Ahmed DAHMI (Traductor, independant researcher); Khalid EL MANSOURI (Traductor).

Inspirado en “Rashōmon” de Akira Kurosawa, en el que se explica un solo evento desde diferentes puntos de vista, este nuevo proyecto documental de José González Morandi, reúne múltiples narrativas que conforman una imagen compleja de la guerra Ifni-Sahara, también conocida como la “guerra olvidada”.

Un episodio de un proceso de descolonización más amplio que involucró a toda África, desde los años 50 hasta los 70. La película tiene como objetivo recuperar los recuerdos de los veteranos, tratando de sacar voces y recuerdos del olvido.

La idea era ubicar la historia de los ex miembros del LNA y las tropas indígenas en los ejércitos coloniales que los confrontaron en su contexto histórico y restaurar la complejidad de las versiones relacionadas en una narrativa polifónica a través de la película.
