COSMOS Embassy Films + Q&A
COSMOS
Each year, COSMOS – Le Guess Who?’s global music community – partners up with eight new Embassies to showcase their music scene. For this, we commission local filmmakers to portray the main spaces, actors and activities in the respective region. For a full afternoon at Utrecht’s Slachtstraat cinema, COSMOS proudly presents the results alongside first-hand insights by representatives of each city. Drop by, kick back and take a trip to the vibrant musical undercurrents of Detroit, Nairobi, Vilnius, Karachi, London, Marrakech, Seoul and Utrecht. Plus: a very special performance film of Aftab Sr., father of LGW curator Arooj Aftab, directed by Honiunhoni’s Daniyal Ahmed.
