Veranstaltung von Auswärts Solidarity Group und Aus der Nacht heraus – Film Fest

Grünberger Straße 73, 10245 Berlin, Deutschland

For the sixth year, the Auswärts-Solidarity Group will be hosting the political film festival „Aus der Nacht heraus 6“ this summer (save the dates: June 7, 14, 21, and 22, 2024). Our festival aims to shine a spotlight on and analyze the various oppressions stemming from the capitalist, patriarchal, and racist structures within society and state mechanisms, as well as to explore methods of resilience, resistance, and struggle through internationalistic solidarity and collective action.
Having experienced the exhaustion brought on by multiple oppressions within a patriarchal and capitalist state that systematically diminishes and impoverishes our lives, we extend an invitation to you to our pre-festival event for feminist strike day.
This event is intended for all those who, on March 8th, strike against the fulfillment of gender roles and the position of being a woman or femininity, queer or trans person in a patriarchal society. We reject the patriarchal and heteronormative norms forced upon us and our bodies on a daily basis. We seek to address gender-based violence, state-sponsored killings, and feminicides. We refuse to accept the normalization of our deaths. Not one less. We aspire to freedom, presence, self-definition, and happiness. And that means:
WIR WOLLEN UNS LEBEND- WE WANT US ALIVE!

*Film: Mulheres em Movimento (English Title: Women in Movement), 68 min
directed by Juliana M. Streva
(scroll down for more info about the film and the director)

*Performance: Wifebeater, by Dimitris Tsesmelis
A human being, a dress, a microphone, and a piano. A peculiar „concert“ for all those femininities that we carry within us, that live with us, and for those who are no longer here.

At the end of the evening, there will be a DJ set.

See you all there!

Mulheres em Movimento

Description of the film:
The film composes a living archive, driven by the urgent need to articulate struggles, voices, and political grammars. Moving from the politics of speaking to the poetics of listening, the film engages in a relational dialogue that merges thinking and feeling, private and public, theory and practice, knowledge and experience, domestic and political. Experimentally shot in the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and Manaus, between May and June 2018, a few months after the feminicide of Marielle Franco, the film captures the context leading up to the main Brazilian elections in October.
Juliana M. Streva (she/they) is a transdisciplinary legal researcher, lecturer and experimental filmmaker, born and raised in Brazil. Her work is primarily informed by anticolonial, critical race, feminist and queer theories and practices. Currently, she works as a postdoctoral associate at the Institutes of Sociology and Latin American Studies at Freie Universität Berlin. Her visual and written works include the book „Corpo, Raça, Poder: Extermínio Negro no Brasil“ (2018) and the films „Mulheres em Movimento“ (2020) and „Quilombo, Continuum“ (2023).
