We will focus on the issue of homelessness and its “invisibility”. Drawing from the South African context, we will discuss why housing programs are not always successful and how vulnerable groups can assert their rights. Finally, we’ll consider the motivations behind films about the concept of home and explore ways to make them more empathetic.

Join us for a discussion between Magda Maria Malinowska, the director of The Women’s Strike Continues, and Tatiana Mazú González, director of Rio Turbio. Along with artists and dedicated social activists, we will delve into the impact of their activist approach to filmmaking. Our conversation will explore their interaction with protagonists, selected material from their films, and the various formats used in films about labor rights.

Conversation with Elena Chirila, Ana Gurdiș

Collaborating with others teaches you a lot about yourself: you come to understand what you are good at, your interests, how you deal with stress and delegate tasks. It’s very important for us to forge ties, help one another, share opportunities, because this is how our cultural spaces become stronger, more resilient and sustainable.

Conversation with Mia Ma

Julie On Line addresses very difficult and sensitive questions related to living with schizophrenia, trauma, child abuse and injustice. At the same time, the film is imbued with an incredible sense of mutual care between you and Julie, as well as the trust that made this film possible in its sincere moments and the instances of extreme vulnerability that Julie shows to the camera and you.
