We're so happy to be back to Love Affair Basement to celebrate Pride Month with everyone and watch Onda Nova, by Ícaro (Francisco C.) Martins & José Antonio Garcia. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🦄
We're organising a very special event with vegan Feijoada, great cinema and community vibes and we would love to have you there with us. We partnered with Love Affair Basement to offer a combo of cinema ticket + delicious vegan meal. Please check the tickets options below!
📽 Censored by the Brazilian dictatorship before its release and recently restored in 4K, the film brings together stories about the young players of the newly formed Gayvotas Football Club. With the support of players from the 80’s who were well-known for their political stances as well as their football, this erotic and anarchic comedy features cameos from Casagrande and others involved in the Brazilian struggle for democracy.
Facing the many prejudices of a conservative society while navigating personal, romantic, and family dynamics, the team prepares for a symbolic international match. Women’s football was banned in Brazil until 1979, and women were only able to form teams in 1983, the year ONDA NOVA was produced.
📅 Sunday, 15th of June
🕰️ Doors open from 5pm
📽️ Films starting at 6pm
📍 Love Affair Basement, 324 Hackney Rd London, England, E2 7AX.
We will also be screening another short film in partnership with Mov Festival, The International Student Film Festival of Pernambuco, Brazil. ⭐
⚡This is the last film of our cycle in the first half of 2025, supported by Consulate of Brazil in London and Instituto Guimarães Rosa. We will be donating 50% of the box office to Favela Cine Clube to support their incredible work at Morro da Providencia. By attending one of these screenings, you will be directly contributing to a screening organised by Favela CineClube.
Favela Cineclube holds free film screenings, bringing residents together, encouraging the occupation of idle spaces through screenings in public places and promoting access to cinema and audiovisual arts in general, always with the aim of presenting new perspectives and references for social transformation in the community. By moving access to cinema to Morro da Providência, the work of art is no longer separated from reality, restricted to cinema rooms, making it possible for it to be enjoyed, appropriated and produced by the residents of Morro da Providência.
All our films have English subtitles.
