💜 Pride @ Sõprus x Oblique Screens
Oblique Screens on Tallinnas tegutsev rahvusvaheliste kunstnike kogukond, kes toovad üheks õhtuks Sõpruse ekraanile varem siinmail nägemata põrandaalused kväärfilmid sõjaväediktatuuri all vaevlevast 1980ndate lõpu Brasiiliast. Kuna tegemist on ühekordse seansiga ja nii filmide sissejuhatus kui subtiitrid on inglise keeles, siis on ka pikem tutvustav tekst ainult inglise keeles. Tegemist on tõeliselt rariteetse kraamiga ja ilmselt on programmi võimalik meie ekraanil näha täpselt see üks ja ainus kord 3. juunil.

💜 Oblique Screens #15: Queer Cinema in Super-8 from Paraíba
ENGLISH:
Oblique Screens is an informal collective, consisting of Rita Davis, Fernanda Saval, Sunny Lei, and Seppe-Hazel Laeremans, that screens queer films in and around Tallinn, with a particular emphasis on visual production in the periphery.
The films draw on the collective work of Nós Também, a gay liberation group, and several queer filmmakers in their orbit, active in João Pessoa, in the Northeast of Brazil in the early 1980s, at the tail end of the country's military dictatorship. Under conditions of political censorship, social repression, and material precarity, they developed radical strategies for making and distributing their work: experimental short films on Super 8, manifestos, exhibitions, and protests.
Era Vermelho Seu Batom tells a fictive story of carnivalesque love, desire, and rejection in Baía da Traíção. Closes sheds light on the conditions of homosexual life in João Pessoa through intimate scenes alongside street interviews. Perequeté elegantly portrays performer Francisco Marto. Baltazar da Lomba reimagines, anachronistically, the story of the first man convicted of sodomy in colonial Brazil, in 1595.
For this evening at Kino Sõprus, Oblique Screens curated four short films that will each be accompanied by a short piece of reflective writing, made in conversation with the directors.
