Cinema – Stream of Images/Imaginaries – What Remains of Us

On November 9, Sunday, a screening of the second bloc of the film program Stream of Images/Imaginaries will take place. The event will take place from 3pm to 5pm at the Auditorium in the third floor.

Stream of Images/Imaginaries, the film program of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo highlights connections between Brazil, the Caribbean, and West Africa, bringing together the richness of Brazilian and French cultures in a program of films and related activities, with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Guimarães Rosa Institute, the French Embassy in Brazil, and the Institut français, as part of the France-Brazil Season. The program draws on the historical ties and strong transcontinental relationship and mutual influence between Brazil, the French Caribbean, and West African countries to establish dialogues between contemporary works from the African continent and historical works from the Cinémathèque Afrique collection, as well as films and videos by historical and contemporary artists from Brazil and the French Caribbean. The screenings will be accompanied by conversations with artists, lectures, and performances.

Each block of the program unfolds into a specific theme that will be explored throughout the Bienal, inviting the public to immerse themselves in its curatorial proposals. The block shown on November 9 is entitled What Remains of Us. It Investigates how marginalized communities reinvent and transform themselves through time, creating daily gestures and rituals from remnants of history. Rather than dwelling on loss, these films celebrate voices and practices that resist erasure, embodying reinvention, empathy, and persistence against structural violence. Includes the following films: Ici s’achève le monde connu [Here Ends the World We’ve Known] (16’, Anne-Sophie Nanki, 2022), Geruzinho (15’, Juliana Teixeira, Luli Morante, Rafael Amorim, 2022), Les Escuelles (11’, Idrissa Ouedraogo, 1983), A Lesson in History (5’, Maybelle Peters, 1990) and Leave the Edges (40’, Baff Akoto, Ghana/UK, 2020).
