Cinema Mentiré present a selection of shorts from the BOMBA  Animada Collective in Bolivia. The shorts are in Spanish with English subtitles.

A collection of shorts by BOMBA Animada, a Bolivian animation studio showcasing female animators’ work. Created in 2023 to make their work visible, BOMBA seeks to develop alliances inside and outside Bolivia to strengthen the voices of both individuals and as part of a united group. Their diverse techniques range from stop motion and drawing to pixelling and digital animation. Their films often reflect their cultural identity, folk stories, and imaginative storytelling. Their members organise workshops, talks, and screenings, also offering fundraising guidance and financial support. They share their experience to inspire and demonstrate to Bolivian women that making a career in animation in the country is possible.

This screening is part of Cinema Mentiré's season of recent Bolivian films in partnership with The Garden Cinema - Echoes and Horizons: Contemporary Bolivian Cinema.

On Sunday mornings our Family Screenings are followed by a free activity for Children.

The screening is Pay What You Can, which means you’re free to pay as much or as little as you can afford. By paying for a ticket, you will enable us to keep offering Pay What You Can screenings to families struggling with the cost of living. Thank you
