THE STRANGER IN THE HOUSE [I documentari di INTERNAZIONALE]

Brazilian Congress is hostage to a so called ‘bullets, beef and bible’ conservative bench. Jean Wyllys is the stranger in this House. The documentary follows the only openly gay congressman in the most conservative Congress of Brazil’s democracy, in his support of gay marriage and other progressive bills, rendering an in-depth portrait of the country’s troubled times. Once a pop star celebrity, winner of the biggest local reality show, Big Brother Brazil, now he puts his fame at risk by confronting the religious majority, and becomes an activist under life threats, target of online hate, the Brazilian Harvey Milk living in one of the deadliest countries for homosexuals, while the rest of the world sees an increase in legislative tolerance.

IGGY POP & MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ: “TO STAY ALIVE: A METHOD”. Again!

Hundreds of thousands of Turkish cats roam the metropolis of Istanbul freely. For thousands of years they’ve wandered in and out of people’s lives, becoming an essential part of the communities that make the city so rich. Claiming no owners, the cats of Istanbul live between two worlds, neither wild nor tame –and they bring joy and purpose to those people they choose to adopt. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to the people, allowing them to reflect on their lives in ways nothing else could.

IGGY POP & MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ: “TO STAY ALIVE: A METHOD”. Again!

From his sundrenched garden in Miami, Iggy Pop reads from Michel Houellebecq’s “To Stay Alive.” In 1991, Houellebecq wrote this thought-provoking essay on insanity, survival and art, describing it as “a weak but clear signal to those on the point of giving up.” Houellebecq urges poets who are weary of life to “return to the origin; that is, to suffering.” A poet should put his finger on society’s wounds and press down hard, he says.

THE SPACE IN BETWEEN. Marina Abramović in Brazil. Ultima proiezione!

A mixture between road movie and spiritual thriller, the film brings an unprecedented approach of the intimate creative process of one of the most important artists of our time. Pioneering performance artist Marina Abramović travels through the remote areas of Brazil to experience sacred rituals and reveal her creative process amidst the wonders of the landscape. From visits with healers, sages, shamans, and sects, to intimate personal rituals and experiences within the natural landscape, the documentary follows Abramović through a profound introspective journey of memories, pain, and past experiences.

LE JEUNE KARL MARX. Di Raoul Peck candidato all’Oscar e vincitore di BAFTA e César con “I’M Not Your Negro”

Marx and Engels meet cute in this intense, fervent film about the early development of communism from I Am Not Your Negro director Raoul Peck. It’s a sinewy and intensely focused, uncompromisingly cerebral period drama, co-written with Pascal Bonitzer, about the birth of communism in the mid-19th century. It gives you a real sense of what radical politics was about: talk. There is talk, talk and more talk. It should be dull, but it isn’t. Somehow the spectacle of fiercely angry people talking about ideas becomes absorbing and even gripping.
