New edition of the Migrant Movie Festival

The 11th edition of the International Festival "Cine Migrante", a meeting that proposes to generate a cultural space focused on the issue of migrants. It will be carried out until Tuesday 29, by streaming, with free access.

The festival features as usual its central sections, plus a retrospective screening, conferences and presentations, plus a new section this year: a space for digital productions. There will be interaction and exchanges between directors, guests and the public. The event will be streamed live for free, albeit not the films featured.

This year there will be five exhibition halls that will be online between 20 UTC and 3 UTC. The central section will have three guidelines: "I Can't Breathe", "Necropolitics/Borders" and "Stories that Pierce the Fabric", which will seek to show from different perspectives how hard is to meet with others.

In the "I Can't Breathe" room, films will focused on the anti-racist rallies following the death of George Lloyd, while the "Necropolitics/Borders" room will review those stories in which a border becomes an integral element of many people's lives, a border that for many who cross it, means death.

The conference cycle: named "I can't breathe. A Cry from the Perspective of the Black Lives Matter movement'", with American writer Kazembe Balagún; and "Shanty Town Dwellers Lives Matter. A cry of organized women", a dialogue between filmmakers Natasha Neri and Andrea Testa with the mothers of underage victims murdered by the police of Rio de Janeiro.

Also, "Woman of the border. Defending the right to life is not a crime", with Helena Maleno (Morocco, Spain); and "Border management, a way of managing death", with Sandro Mezzadra (Italy).

This year there will be a special retrospective on feminist filmmaker Sarah Maldoror, curated by her daughter Annouchka de Andrade and by Chema Gonzalez - Head of Cultural Activities at the Reina Sofia Museum; and there will be a midnight film series (3 UTC) at the "Noches Extrañas/Strange Nights" hall, whose motto is: "every body is political", with performances by Sofi Tramazaygues,a sex worker and a youtuber.
