BOALÂNDIA documents the cultural resistance in the peripheries of Brazil. The protagonists ?ght for visibility with the means of art. They occupy cities and raise their voice against discrimination, police violence, racism and homophobia. For three years, the ?lmmakers worked and lived with collectives and activists, accompanying them in the Amazon rainforest, at protests in the capital and in the subcultures of Brazilian metropolises. With their own ?lms, the protagonists ?ght for attention. Filmmaking, as a narrative form as much as the process of archiving, has a special political signi?cance in this resistance to structural violence. BOALÂNDIA is a portrait of this activism and the vivid diversity. Mehr
