Togoland Projections takes us to the territory of Togo, the former German colony. We follow the film expedition of the director Hans Schomburgk, who shot documentary and adventure films there from 1913 to 1914. We show his films to today’s Togolese public to question the film images, their historical background and the effects of colonialism. What do they show and what do they conceal about “Togoland”, which at the time was considered the “model colony” of the German Empire?

Through transculturation, negritude had its recognition due to its extensive religious legacy, which played a key role in defining the identity of who the Cuban became. The Kongo ethnic group is one of the ethnicities Palo Monte descend from, and at the same time, Congo is their language. In an unconventional way, we immerse ourselves in the syncretic ritual of a paleros family and we take part in it. What is it to be Cuban?

Three traditional festivities located in rural territories of the province of Cáceres (Spain) are the chosen setting to observe processes of expression and reconstruction of masculinities projected around Iberian festive rituals. Masculinity manifested through bodily resistance as an attribute that strengthens the stereotypical conception of the masculine is intertwined with other forms of expression marked by caring relationships between men and a significant sensitivity produced in a context of popular religiosity.

A s’Orgolesa recounts a year in Orgosolo with a narrative structure that alternates dialogue parts and “Canti a Tenore”. The chants, the authentic matrix of the piece and the main element of the story, weave the testimonies of a community that, proud of its origins and its past, nowadays is facing a present in continuous transformation. “Canto a Tenore” does not become a mere celebration of a past already gone, but a faithful poetic transposition of social themes particularly alive within the community.

Brazil’s love motels are a haven where fantasy becomes reality. When the filmmaker’s own date never shows up, she gets a fresh idea for a film instead. Through personal and sometimes quite explicit footage filmed by the participants themselves, Eros presents the unique and singular ways in which people conduct their intimate and romantic relationships and how these behaviours reflect social norms and other broader realities. The result is a kaleidoscopic insight into a parallel world of human desire.
