Lichtblick-Kino

Curatorial Statement:

In the face of resurgent waves of hatred in different parts of the world, resisting together remains urgent and necessary and sharing stories of collective care and tenderness emerge as a way to position ourselves.
This is how Radical Care came about: Stories of women who open up new possibilities against injustice through collective resistance and radical tenderness.

Through this category we want to share stories of women who come together and interlace to resist and confront the different forms of struggle, violence, and discrimination to which we are exposed.
In this selection we will find many interwoven networks, some broader, communal, and extensive, and others more intimate, which, like timid braids, sustain and care for one another, resisting against the dynamics of injustice and generating possibilities for transformation.

The stories, told from the unique perspective of their directors, represent different geographies, ages, and struggles. In them, the fabrics, braids, webs, threads, and hands that hold, emerge as metaphors for intertwined collective resistance.

Through this selection, we invite you to share and imagine stories that, through care and tenderness, reflect new ways of narrating, reinterpreting, and constructing other possible futures through cinema.
