-
- Society & Culture
Our journey through the Berlinale Talents archive begins with the award-winning Brazilian screenwriter, director, critic and festival organiser Kleber Mendonça Filho (AQUARIUS; BACURAU). In this talk, Kleber Mendonça Filho reflects on artistic responses to the racial and social tensions and inequalities within Brazilian society. Due to the precarious political situation in Brazil, filmmakers are on the verge of a crisis - and yet find themselves in one of the best moments of Brazilian cinema. Sitting within the exploration of ‘Collectives’ during Berlinale Talents 2020, this conversation between Kleber Mendonça Filho and Head of the World Cinema Fund Vincenzo Bugno responds to a desire within the film industry to support dissident creative voices and challenge established hierarchies.
