La Sur Real Film Festival Film Festival Berlin Version en español al final
________

After more than 7 years of promoting film festival processes in Berlin, Kunstrial e.V.

presents La Sur Real Film Festival. A festival that provides spaces for dialogue between creators, stories and cinematographies from the different souths that inhabit and feed the world. We believe in the importance of sharing points of view that generate new transformative imaginaries, that move away from the existing normative hegemonic versions, that take up knowledge that has remained excluded

, broadening the ways in which we perceive reality and therefore images; imaginaries that make collective identities more flexible, that integrate the material, the non-human and the animal as relational, generating different ways of linking ourselves even with the devices attributed to cinema. We exhibit short films that propose a decolonial reading of the territories, mainly of Abya Yala, claiming our own emancipatory knowledge. We are looking for cinematographic creations that propose a critique of the existing relationship between the global north and south, question patriarchal white supremacy and share contexts that dismantle Western normative precepts. We share on screen the representations of indigenous, black, Afro-descendant and peasant people, and those who resist for the freedom of their bodies. We celebrate in this space their uses, customs, their cosmovisions, their ways of relating to nature, food, music, medicine, words and the creation of knowledge. We are looking for audiovisual works that speak of struggles, of the memory of the South, of exiles, conflicts, of the archives rescued from our silenced histories, those cinematographic creations that vindicate migrants, mainly in historically hegemonic countries, that highlight the existence of our bodies as autonomous political subjects capable of our own self-determination, masters of our own voice and thought. The 2022 edition invites non-fiction, experimental, animation and multi-species works that represent bodies in resistance and narratives that take on the world in counter-hegemonic ways.

Luego de más de 7 años gestando procesos de festivales de cine en Berlin, Kunstrial e.V. presenta La Sur Real Film Festival. Un festival que proporciona espacios de diálogo entre creadores, historias y cinematografías provenientes de los distintos sures que habitan y nutren el mundo. Creemos en la importancia de compartir puntos de vista que generen nuevos imaginarios transformadores, que se alejen de las versiones hegemónicas normativas existentes, que retomen saberes que han permanecido excluidos, ampliando las formas en que percibimos la realidad y por ende las imágenes; que flexibilicen las identidades colectivas que integren lo material, lo no humano y lo animal como relacional, generando distintas formas de vincularnos incluso con los dispositivos atribuidos al cine. Exhibimos cortometrajes que planteen una lectura decolonial de los territorios, principalmente de Abya Yala, reivindicando saberes propios y emancipadores. Buscamos creaciones cinematográficas que propongan una crítica a la relación existente entre el norte y el sur global, cuestione la supremacía blanca patriarcal y compartan contextos que desmantelen los preceptos normativos occidentales. Compartimos en pantalla las representaciones propias de las personas indígenas, negras, afrodescendientes, campesinas, y quienes resisten por la libertad de sus cuerpas. Celebramos en este espacio sus usos, costumbres, sus cosmovisiones, sus formas de relacionarse con la naturaleza, la comida, la música, la medicina, la palabra y la creación de conocimiento. Buscamos trabajos audiovisuales que hablen de las luchas, de la memoria del sur, de los exilios, los conflictos, de los archivos rescatados de nuestras historias silenciadas, aquellas creaciones cinematográficas que reivindiquen a las personas migrantes principalmente en los países históricamente hegemónicos, que resalten la existencia de nuestras cuerpas como sujetas políticas autónomas capaces de nuestra propia autodeterminación, dueñas de nuestra voz y pensamiento. La edición 2022 invita a aquellos trabajos de no ficción, experimental, animación y multiespecie, que representen cuerpas en resistencia y narrativas que asuman el mundo de formas contrahegemónicas.
