In the organizer's words:

Inadelso Cossa  
Mozambique/ Germany/ France/ Portugal/ Netherlands/ Norway 2024 | Original Version with English Subtitles | 93 min

In this poetic film essay, Mozambican filmmaker Inadelso Cossa returns to the village of his childhood after many years to relive the memories of the civil war that devastated Mozambique from 1977 to 1992. He meets his grandmother Maria, who is now suffering from the first signs of Alzheimer’s disease: Between truth and fiction, memory and forgetting, AS NOITES AINDA CHEIRAM A PÓLVORA is a testimony to the resilience of human memory. Cossa uses the means of cinema to recapture lost fragments of history and to encounter the ghosts that live on in the darkness of social silence.

The film celebrated its international premiere in the Forum of this year’s Berlinale.
