Double Feature in the framework of Klima Biennale / Thu 25.4.2024, 8pm
Uýra: The Rising Forest (Juliana Curi / Brazil and USA / Vo: Pt-Br, Sub: Fr-En, 2022, 60')
Uýra, a non-binary trans artist from Brazil, takes us on a transformative journey through the Amazon forest. Using elements from the forest, ancestral messages and indigenous representations, she embodies an entity traversed by multiple identities. Like her alter ego Emerson, biologist, activist and educator, she denounces structural racism, transphobia and environmental destruction. A radically poetic documentary, a fresh and different take on the Amazon, its locals and the new queer generation.
Terra Mater: Motherland (Kantarama Gahigiri / Rwanda, Switzerland / 2023, 10')
Selbstbewusst steht sie da, wie eine Göttin des technologischen Schrotts. Um sie herum endlose Berge aus Müll, Plastik, Gestank und seltenen Erden. Ein zorniger Appell an die Welt, Verantwortung zu übernehmen für die Auswirkungen von Kapitalismus, Kolonialismus und Umweltzerstörung in Afrika.
After the screening Marissa Lobo will comment on Uýra with whom she has been working while Uýra was artist in residence bei kulturen in bewegung in Vienna 2023.
It takes place in the framework of Klima Biennale Wien.
Cinemarkt is an event of Brunnenpassage in cooperation with Volxkino.
