O KINO-DOC, em parceria com a Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa, apresenta o Festival Internacional Signes de Nuit Lisboa 2017. O festival ocorre entre os próximos dias 23 de Novembro e 3 de Dezembro, com secções competitivas (Documentário, Cinema em Transgressão e Curtas-Metragens) no auditório Caleidoscópio, noutros espaços da Universidade de Lisboa, e sessões de cinema documental extra-competição nas instalações do KINO-DOC. Convidamos todos os interessados para as sessões no nosso espaço. SEXTA-FEIRA, DIA 1 DE DEZEMBRO 21h15 UNTITLED 3 (Sin Título, Tercer Movimiento) / Julio Lamaña, Ricardo Rerea / Spain / 2017 / 0:13:00 Shot in Rumichaca Market in Bogotá, this film looks at plants from a different perspective: their relationship with the cosmos and the Colombian countryside. 21h30 ECUADOR, WITH THE EYES CLOSED (Ecuador, con los Ojos Cerrados) / Daniel Chamorro / Spain / 2014 / 0:20:00 Ecuador is a country full of changes that fights for develop itself. Manos Unidas is helping in that way. A poetry guides us to discover it, with the eyes closed. 22h BONTOK, RAPELESS (Walang Rape sa Bontok) / Mark Lester, Menor Valle / Philippines / 2014 / 1:59:00 Two Filipinas, both victims of sexual abuse in varying degrees, yearn and search for a utopia where women can live without being sexually violated. By chance, they encounter a study by renowned anthropologist June Prill-Brett, Ph.D., which states that the Bontok of the Philippine Cordilleras has lived for eras without a term, nor concept, nor incidence, of rape. At last, a utopia, where the most heinous of gender crimes is unheard of. Or, is it? The search centers on the municipality of Bontoc, the locus of Bontok culture. Alas, the move to completely revalidate Dr. Brett’s statement is a generation too late. Oral tradition is now seldom retold, and the last generation of Bontok Igorots who have lived in the traditional ato and olog are already in their twilight years. Through judiciary archives, local government records, and the oral narratives of Bontok elders, the mission does find its holy grail, albeit almost dead: suffocating under the inevitable weight of alien culture and mass media. If at all, the rape-less society still exists, but only within small, close-knit Bontok communes. Still exists, but trapped in the rapidly-fading past: the last evidence proving its very existence is the collective memory of Bontok elders who do not even know each other, all saying “Idi, awan! Tatta, addan…” (“In our days, there was none! But today, there is rape…”). The documentary seeks to answer this question: in a country where the universality of sexual violence is widely condoned, how did a rape-less society ever become possible? Os filmes apresentados são escolhas de Dieter Wieczorek, director do Signes de Nuit. Entrada gratuita. Antes da sessão, a partir das 20h, estaremos em convívio no bar-galeria Logradouro, um pouco acima das nossas instalações, na mesma rua. (fotograma de BONTOK, RAPELESS)
