El lugar más pequeño

This event is part of Cinema from the Global Majority: Introducing the Cinelogue Library, the first screening series presented by Cinelogue in collaboration with Ibraaz, bringing together a selection of films from its growing library spanning Africa, Asia, Latin America, and their diasporas.

On the surface El lugar más pequeño (The Tiniest Place) is the story of Cinquera, a village literally wiped off the official map during El Salvador’s 12-year civil war. But on a deeper level it is a story about the ability to rise, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a tragedy. Holding the past and present in focus together, the film takes us to the tiny village nestled in the mountains amidst the humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers, survivors of the war’s massacres, recount their journey home at war’s end. When they first returned their village no longer existed. 

Doors open at 2.30pm; event starts at 3pm and finishes at 4.30pm.
