SUMMARY:Tchindas
DESCRIPTION:Tchinda is one of the most beloved women on Cape Verde\, especially after coming out as trans in a local newspaper in 1998. Since then\, her name has become the term used by locals to refer to queer Cape Verdeans. In the month leading up to Carnival\, the slow-paced atmosphere of the island transforms into a frenzied hustle as thousands flock to the streets. Locals join forces to create something beautiful as the entire island becomes a “little Brazil.” The camera closely follows Tchinda and her cohorts – an engaging\, closely knit group of trans women and gay men – as they take the lead in preparing their neighbourhood for the festivities. \nPresented in partnership with Africa in Motion. \nACCESS: Level access with Cinema plus accessible toilets all on ground floor (CCA). Film in Cape Verdean creole with English subtitles. Hearing loop available.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc.
