"The moon", "the sun", "the land" and "the man" have often been central to the creation and maintenance of imperial narratives, but the light of the moon has never been singular. It cannot be owned, only shared.This summer, Cavia will be illuminated by the light of many moons and sets of gleaming eyes. We will commune in the garden to share films, words, songs and food as a means of holding, listening, grieving, speculating and resisting.

TCHINDAS
Pablo García Pérez de Lara and Marc Serena | 2015 | Cape Verde, Spain | 94’ | EN subs
Within a small, tropical Cape Verdean island, the beloved Tchinda is hard at work, preparing for a Carnival that she hopes will capture the town’s imagination. Since coming out as transgender in 1998, Tchinda has become a beacon for the local queer community. Despite her great reputation, she remains humble, joyfully touring the neighborhood each afternoon to sell her delicious "coxinhas" — a classic Brazilian treat. Directed by Pablo García Pérez de Lara and Marc Serena, this lush and perceptive documentary transports you into the heart of Cape Verde. Every February, the island shifts from a tranquil paradise to a vibrant hub of activity as it prepares for Carnival. This enchanting period, described as "Little Brazil" by the legendary singer Cesária Évora, showcases the incredible creativity and teamwork of the locals. Tchindas reveals a hidden, magical side of Africa, where inclusion and community spirit come together to create an unforgettable celebration.
