Transmission from the Liberated Zones

Transmission from the Liberated Zones is an experiment that brings together statements and documents accessed and presented by a young boy through a low-fidelity feedback channel—a resonance studio to wander back and forth through time and subjects, between tepid and tropic encounters. This essay departs from the concept of Liberated Zones, a designation used to describe areas freed from the Portuguese domination, organized and managed by the guerrilla militants of the PAIGC (African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde) in Guinea during the eleven-year liberation war (1963–1974). The Swedish protagonists are the diplomat Folker Löfgren, the filmmaker Lennart Malmer, the filmmaker and psychologist Ingela Romare and the politician Birgitta Dahl, all of whom visited the zones in the early 1970. The contemporary presenter reflects on his own condition and states that recalling instances of the liberation prepare the ground for further recurrences.
