Cinema, roundtable with Katia Mesel and Debora Butruce, and DJ set with Gombaxx – Stream of Images / Imaginaries – La Friche la Belle de Mai

On Saturday, September 20, the third block of the program Stream of Images / Imaginaries will be screened, followed by a roundtable with filmmakers Katia Mesel and Debora Butruce, and a DJ set with Gombaxx. The event will take place from 6 p.m. to midnight at La Friche la Belle de Mai, in Marseille.

Stream of Images / Imaginaries, the film program of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo that highlights connections between Brazil, the Caribbean, and West Africa, brings together the richness of Brazilian and French cultures in a program of films and related activities. It is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Instituto Guimarães Rosa, the Embassy of France in Brazil, and the Institut français, as part of the France-Brazil Season. The program is rooted in the historical bonds and strong transcontinental relationship of mutual influence between Brazil, the French Caribbean, and West African countries, establishing dialogues between contemporary works from the African continent and historical pieces from the Cinémathèque Afrique collection, as well as films and videos by both historical and contemporary artists from Brazil and the French Caribbean. Screenings will be accompanied by conversations with artists, lectures, and performances.

The films presented will be from the block Bodies in Motion: Sound, Struggle, and Social Spaces, featuring works by Manuel Gimenez, Atteyat Al-Abnoudy, Paulin Vieyra, and Katia Mesel.

6:00 – 7:20 p.m.: film screenings
7:30 – 8:30 p.m.: roundtable with Katia Mesel and Debora Butruce
9:00 p.m. – midnight: DJ set with Gombaxx
