Screening and discussion of documentary film by Licinio Azevedo, NIGHT LODGERS (Hospedes da Noite), 2007, Mozambique. In the colonial era the Grande Hotel in the city of Beira was the largest in Mozambique, boasting 350 rooms, luxurious suites, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. This luminous documentary depicts the hotel as it is today: in ruins with no electricity or running water, and inhabited by 3,500 people, some of whom have been living there for 20 years. In addition to the rooms, the foyers, corridors, service areas, and the hotel’s basement – where it is always night – also serve as residences. The screening is curated and introduced by Ros Gray, Goldsmiths, University of London.
This event is part of CONTEMPORARY AFRICA ON SCREEN, curated by Jennifer Bajorek, Goldsmiths, University of London, and the South London Gallery in partnership with Juma Bah, Community Action Southwark
