Abstract

In this paper I analyse the intranational conflicts of Post-Cold War Mozambique with a particular focus on women’s struggle against sexist exploitation by Frelimo national politics in two films, Virgem Margarida, by Licínio de Azevedo (2012), and O jardim de outro homem, by João Luís Sol de Carvalho (2007). I also demonstrate how they engage with the new possibilities opened up by the cinematography of “accented cinema” (Hamid Naficy) replacing the old Marxist paradigms of “Third Cinema” and armed struggle.
