SCREENING WITH Q&A

An Impossible Address

Suneil Sanzgiri’s work has been shaped by an ongoing investigation into the histories of anti-imperialist and anti-colonial struggle in the Global South — rooted in his own family genealogy of resistance in Goa under Portuguese occupation. Here, he writes an impossible letter to Sita Valles, an Angolan doctor of Goan descent who, in the aftermath of April 25, left Lisbon to join the MPLA. A film that unfolds through shifting cinematic techniques and anchors itself in a mutable aesthetic, in an attempt to grapple with what struggle truly means.

Overwork

Between the 1970s and the 1990s, the government of the Federal Republic of Germany produced a series of educational films designed to present a wide range of professions in meticulous detail. In OVERWORK, Céline Berger breathes new life into this archival material.

Deep Cobalt

It has always been this way — and it still is: so that some may enjoy their possessions with little effort, others must exhaust themselves producing them. In the Mutoshi mine, in Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo — in the depths of the world — a community of workers known as the Rememberers extracts cobalt, a mineral essential to the manufacture of technological devices, under the most inhumane conditions. And yet, they endure.

Taxi Moto

A love story between two men — that was always the premise. But barred from filming it in his home country, the director was forced to reinvent it elsewhere, in another geography, with a different protagonist. The celebrated fusion of reality and fiction. Cinema as an act of discovery — and love.
