The event
What can a body do, and how far can it be pushed? From the football pitch to the dance studio, from capoeira to the intimate stories of five women, these films explore the body in motion, its learning and its limits. A body that plays, fights, suffers, transforms and also tells of our relationship with others and ourselves.
The films
Paola Barreto
Maré is the nickname of João, a ten-year-old boy who wants to become a capoeira master like his father, following a family tradition passed down through generations. This short film blends fiction and documentary to tell a story of love and war.
The Game
Roman Hodel
A whistle. The stands erupt. Players protest angrily. Commentators follow the action with intensity. At the center of it all is the referee. The whole stadium is watching him: now he must decide. With referee Fedayi San, we experience the highs and lows of a match and learn what it means to earn respect on the pitch and channel the energy of an entire stadium.
Fire Mouth
Luciano Pérez Fernández
In the Brazilian city of Salgueiro, sun-scorched spectators in the stands watch a football match. The players themselves seem to slow under the oppressive heat. But an epic battle blazes across the radio waves. A thunderous, remarkably eloquent voice brings the game to life through metaphors and alliteration: Boca de Fogo, Pernambuco’s fastest commentator.
Elie Grappe
At dawn, in a large classical dance conservatory, a boy falls while training. Something breaks in his foot, triggering searing pain. But today is exam day and he refuses to give up: he tries to save face in front of his dance partner and classmates, convincing himself that his body has no limits.
Flesh
Camila Kater
Rare, medium rare, medium, well done and very well done. Through intimate and personal accounts, five women share their experiences of their bodies from childhood to old age.
