Hommage à Marielle Franco

Can a voice keep resonating after someone has tried to silence it? In tribute to Marielle Franco, this session brings together five films about political, racial and gender-based violence, as well as the struggles that resist it. From the streets of Rio to Switzerland and Georgia, voices rise, occupy space and refuse silence.

One year after the murder of Marielle Franco, her parents, Antônio and Marinete Silva, travel to Paris for the inauguration of a garden bearing their daughter’s name. From Paris, we hear Marielle — an activist for feminist, Black and LGBTQIA+ causes and a political figure in Brazil. Her voice echoes through the streets and resonates with those of her parents, carrying a cry of pain, revolt and hope. Three years after her killing, Marielle’s garden continues through the seasons.
