The Socio-enviromental film show is dedicated to generate thought about the relations between landscape, inner spaces, mankind and animality in the Anthropocene. Gathering films, a round table and an installation the aim is to develop thought and decolonized perspectives about the current degradation state in the whole socio-enviromental context in which the showing occurs, the Pernambuco state in Brazil. The two programmes (Animal qualque(e)r & Cidade da Si/elva) articulate films from yann beauvais, Mike Hoolboom, Claudio Caldini, Duke and Battersby with women filmmakers like Cherry Kino, Juliana Dorneles, Rai Sacramento, Renata Claus and Carla Lombardo (installation) in order to create interconnections between gender, sexuality, nature and cultural dimensions.

The diversity of thought with cinema. Thus the text as an image, the relations between image and sound, are part of personal films with an autobiographical dimension. Themes such as the contemporary consumer society, advertising, representation of women and neocolonialism are the focus of several sessions. While others show the film in a situation where celluloid and video speak their differences through the film as sculpture. The issue of the media, placing film and video in different sites, ranging from theater to the gallery, will also be addressed in the sessions. The films will be screened with subtitles in Portuguese and those will be available for filmmakers, and / or distributors.
