DOCUMENTARY

Beto Amaral, Carla Caffé, Eliane Caffé | 2020 | Brazil | 89 min | EN subtitles

Southern Sorceresses follows the drift of performances and improvisations by seven queer artists through the streets of downtown São Paulo in a cinematic experience that makes visible the persistence of archaic gender and race prejudices in the common imagination. At the heart of this polyphonic narrative is the importance of political resistance through alliances of common struggle between LGBTQIA+ collectives, black people, indigenous people, and homeless workers.

About the Series: Brazil Unfiltered

Brazil Unfiltered brings together, from 14 March to 14 May, six urgent documentary films confronting social injustice in Brazil, offering unvarnished perspectives from the frontlines of resistance. Centering territorial struggles, the program moves from indigenous land defense to grassroots activism against urban violence and marginalisation.
