The event
A territory is never just a place. It is memory, history, a space we inhabit and sometimes have to defend. From Indigenous territory in Brazil to Mormont Hill in Switzerland, via a working-class neighborhood in São Vicente, three films tell of the ties that bind us to places — and the struggles to live in and preserve them.
The films
Tales of Yakecan
André Moura Lopes
Immersed in her thoughts, young Jessika Yakecan, daughter of pajé Cicero Potyguara and a political activist, divides her time between learning her father’s ancestral knowledge, advocating for gender and sexuality issues, and fighting to defend her village’s territory.
Lara Schroeter
The occupation of the Mormont Hill in the canton of Vaud has been evicted. Five activists bring their memories back to life. What is it like to be subjected to police arbitrariness in the name of capital and the state? How can resistance be sustained despite everything? Layer by layer, excavators remove the rock, but the memories remain.
César Freire, Ed Siqueira, Vitor Donizete
The history, hardships and transformation of the residents of one of the best-known neighborhoods in São Vicente, São Paulo.
