pont.E
in collaboration with Poemarte
The event
How does art become a space for memory, struggle and resistance? pont.E brings cinema and poetry into dialogue through three films spanning very different stories and forms. Through memory, war, collective creation, orality and popular poetry, the films will be accompanied by poetic interventions from Poemarte, creating resonances between images and words throughout the evening. The event will end with an open mic inviting the audience to freely share a poem, a reflection or whatever the films and words have brought to the surface.
The films
Gal Souza
Malunga is Thereza Santos. An actress, playwright, philosopher and communist, she shares episodes from her life as a Black activist during Brazil’s years of dictatorship. Historical accounts and documents reconstruct her political persecution, imprisonment and exile in Guinea-Bissau and Angola. Going against the direction of the Brazilian Communist Party, Thereza Santos forged new paths in politics and the arts.
The Moon Rises
Gaspard Vignon
August 1944. During a rehearsal of the Vouvry mixed choir, young Antoinette arrives late once again. Conductor Arthur Parchet asks another singer to replace her for her solo. As the rehearsal continues, tension rises to a point of no return with the ageing composer, who has made this small choir his final refuge from the miserable fate he has endured for twenty years in Valais. Outside, the war. Based on a true story.
Le Divin, Tout à Coup
Fabio Yamaju
Ubiraci Crispin de Freitas, a real person known as Divino, sings improvised “repentes” and tells his life story in this experimental animated documentary-fiction. Alongside live action, the film combines several handmade animation techniques without computer use: flipbook, drawn animation, rotoscoping, stop motion and pixilation.
Durée : 48’
The Le Renversé team facilitates a conversation with the audience around the questions raised by the programme.
