Equal Opportunities Service
Date: 15 October 2024 / 17:30
Auditorium, Campus Ovest Lugano
As part of the ‘The World at USI’ initiative, the Equal Opportunities Service and the International Relations and Study Abroad Service, in collaboration with the Human Rights Film Festival, offer a screening of the film ‘Coconut Head Generation’ (2023), directed by Alain Kassanda.
Plot:
Every Thursday, a group of students from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria's oldest university, organize a film club, transforming a small lecture hall into a political agora where they develop a critical voice. "Coconut Head Generation", a derogatory expression for narrow-minded, brainless youth, takes on a whole new meaning when students turn this stigma on its head to claim their freedom of thought.
Aperitif follows at the end.
Language:
The film will be shown in English with Italian subtitles.
