DIRECTOR: Patrik Thomas, Mathias Reitz Zausinger

+ supporting film: DON JUICY

On January 1, 2019, Jair Bolsonaro takes office as president of Brazil and his neo-fascist government takes over. Discrimination, police violence, racism and homophobia are firmly on the agenda. Against this backdrop, Patrik Thomas and Mathias Reitz Zausinger spend three years portraying forms of cultural and activist resistance in the politically deeply divided country.

They accompany various collectives that refuse to be silenced, but instead fight for a voice and thus gain visibility. In addition to conventional measures such as demonstrations or squatting, the chosen means include above all those from the fields of art and culture: armed with projectors and cameras, activist film projects are realized, improvised screens are set up, huge images are projected onto the walls of buildings, critical reporting is followed and performances are staged. The action on the screen is accompanied by impressive beats with equally critical rap lyrics.

A hopeful film that not only puts its finger in the wound, but also focuses on marginalized groups in their self-empowered fight for a better future.

The supporting film is DON JUICY: Jorge and his son Emil have to help out as waiters at his eccentric boss's birthday party. What seems harmless at first quickly develops into a juicy story with sinister intentions...

Guests: Patrik Thomas and Mathias Reitz Zausinger (director BOALÂNDIA), Ana Dimitrova and Diego Oliva Tejeda (director DON JUICY)

Em 1º de janeiro de 2019, Jair Bolsonaro assume a presidência do Brasil; seu governo neofascista assume o comando do país. Discriminação, violência policial, racismo e homofobia passam a fazer parte da agenda cotidiana.
Nesse contexto, Patrik Thomas e Mathias Reitz Zausinger retratam, ao longo de três anos, formas de resistência cultural e ativista em um país profundamente dividido politicamente.

Eles acompanham vários coletivos que não se deixam silenciar, mas lutam por uma voz e, assim, ganham visibilidade. Amongst the educational activities, there are also events, such as manifestations and open houses, but, in addition to all this, art and culture. Armados com projetor e câmera, eles realizam projetos cinematográficos ativistas, montam telas improvisadas, projetam imagens gigantes nas paredes das casas, acompanham reportagens críticas e organizam performances. Os acontecimentos na tela são acompanhados por batidas impressionantes com letras de rap igualmente críticas.

Um filme inspirador, que não apenas aponta o dedo para o problema, mas também mostra os grupos marginalizados em sua luta empoderada por um futuro melhor.

As a pre-film, exibiremos DON JUICY: Jorge e seu filho Emil precisam ajudar como garçons na festa de aniversário de seu chefe excêntrico. O que a princípio parece inofensivo, rapidamente se transforma em uma situação complicada.
