PARADISE OMEROS
(2002, UK) Dir. Isaac Julien, 20 minutes

Paradise Omeros delves into the fantasies and feelings of "creoleness" - the mixed language, the hybrid mental states, and the territorial transpositions that arise when one lives in multiple cultures. Using the recurrent imagery of the sea, the film sweeps the viewer into a poetic meditation on the ebb and flow of self and stranger, love and hate, war and peace, xenophobe and xenophile.

MAL DI MARE (SEASICK)
(2021, France, Brazil) Dir. João Vieira Torres, 15 minutes

Seasick is a performance-film that depicts not only the invisible but those who can't see. By turning the film into an intervention platform inside an exhibition, echoing a specific question, the question gradually moves beyond the limits of the exhibition and the film itself. It remains to be seen who is interested in the answer.

NoirBLUE - DISPLACEMENTS OF A DANCE
(2018, Brazil, France) Dir. Ana Pi, 27 minutes

In the African continent, Ana Pi reconnects with her origins through choreographic gestures, engaging in a space-time experiment that combines traditional and contemporary movements. In this dance of fertility and healing, new forms of movement evoke ancestry, belonging, resistance and the sense of freedom.

NÁUFRAGA
(2018, Brazil) Dir. Juh Almeida, 6 minutes

In the beat of the waves, the shipwrecked woman disembodies her memories into the sea.
