With the aim of tackling the major debates in the current Mediterranean area, we are organising this cycle to disseminate the multiple and complex field of cinema related to the media, especially documentary film. We also aim to draw attention to the diverse and topical themes addressed.
We believe it is important to promote a reflection on the various processes that originate around us that need to be narrated and filmed in order to be known, to create opinion, to appeal to consciences and to situate us in new realities.
Neighbourhood relations, the situation of women in different countries, citizens' movements, the Arab Spring, immigration and the history of Casablanca are the themes explored in this cycle.
The screenings will take place at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga (C/Alemania, S/N, 29001 Málaga) at 20:00h, with free admission until full capacity is reached.
Wednesday, 15 June, 20:00h.
EVERYDAY REBELLION
Arash T. Riahi, Arman T. Riahi, Switzerland, 2013, 104 min.
Synopsis
What do the Occupy Wall Street movement have in common with the indignados in Spain or the Arab Spring? Is there any connection between the Iranian democracy movement's struggle and the Syrian uprising? What is the link between Femen's topless Ukrainian activists and an Islamic culture like Egypt? And on top of all this, what do Serbia and Turkey have to do with each other?
Their motives for protest are different, but the non-violent tactics they use in their struggles are closely connected. So are the activists who share strategies, new ideas and established methods. Everyday Rebellion is a story about the richness of peaceful protest, represented every day by passionate people in Spain, Iran, Syria, Ukraine, the US, the UK and Serbia.
