Overview
Filmed in 16 mm, 25 (Vinte Cinco) is a production that involved the collaborative effort from people from Brazil, Mozambique, Portugal and France. It follows the decolonisation process of Mozambique (the aftermath of the colonial war and of the fall of the fascist dictatorship in Portugal, which collapsed on the 25th of April 1974) and the geopolitical organisation of both Africa and Mozambique (that became independent on the 25th of June, 1975.)
