Romana

Romana

2017 • 24 min • Brazil
The film opens space for Dona Romana, a religious leader widely known in Tocantins and in Brazil, to tell us her story and show us a little of her world, physically settled in the rural area of the city of Natividade, the oldest municipality in the state of Tocantins and history closely linked to slavery and Afro-descendant populations. His house is a unique temple, furnished with fantastic, beautiful and enigmatic drawings and other artifacts; works of art that speak of their belief, worldview and express their relationship with the transcendent. From his backyard emerge great sculptures that link the earthly world to other planes and dimensions, and speak of their religiosity, the nature of planet Earth and the future of humanity.

Mrs. Murphy's Confession

Mrs. Murphy's Confession

2017 • 25 min
Unable to connect with her distant husband and eight grown children, Marjorie Murphy tries helping out at Church. She is given responsibility to prepare a group of teen drop-outs for confirmation. Instead, a confrontation over morality presses Mrs. Murphy to articulate convictions she didn’t know she had. This leads to a crisis of faith, and a shamefully exhilarating private moment. A playful and distinctive short film that portrays an awkward journey, and raises taboo questions with no thought of delicacy.

Two Men

Two Men

2017 • 9 min • China
The story of Two Men takes place in a highly theatricalized setting, namely an arched iron cage. Two men fall in love with each other in an all-male world. As their relationship develops, however, it is no longer their own personal matter, but rather a jarring dissonance in this masculine world. The minorities express their needs, but their expression seems so powerless and fragile in comparison with the society at large. Nevertheless, the yearning for ideals in their tender souls never fades.

Abina and the Important Men

Abina and the Important Men

2017 • 55 min • United States of America
Set against the backdrop of the Gold Coast of West Africa in 1876, "Abina and the Important Men" follows the harrowing true story of Abina Mansah, a young girl who is enslaved and struggles against the British colonial system that seeks to control trade and manipulate local customs for its own benefit. Despite the abolition of slavery, Abina finds herself trapped in a society where the trade in slaves, particularly children, persists under the guise of protectorate laws. After being sold and forced to marry against her will, Abina flees to seek her freedom and confronts the British legal system. Her battle for justice is a poignant narrative that exposes the hypocrisy of the colonial powers and the resilience of those who fought against their oppression. Told through stunning animation, the film is a compelling historical drama that delves into the complexity of freedom, colonialism, and the human spirit's unyielding desire for autonomy and dignity.

2017 • 22 min • United States of America
Marwa Arsanios’s new film examines the structures of self-governance and knowledge production fostered by the Kurdish autonomous women’s movement. She asks: what kinds of democracies are enabled without a state, and what kind of ecology is produced under the conditions of war? A propositional portrait of guerrilla ethics, Who is afraid of ideology? Part I disassembles the traditional documentary format, not only to show the contradictions inherent in such a portrayal, but also to doubt the regime of transparency.

"Finding Fanon Part Three" is inspired by the lost plays of Frantz Fanon (1925–1961), a radical humanist, psychiatrist and writer whose work explored the mental distress caused by colonisation and the consequences of decolonisation.
