Senegal, Rwanda, Mozambique, Kenya, Ivory Coast and Burundi are the birthplaces of women who in Mohammed Soudani’s film represent the symbol of the rebirth of a continent torn apart by genocide, hunger and war. Society’s revenge is not a story of men, but of vanguard women who, despite pressures, obstacles and increasingly difficult challenges, recount their success in the failed history of the continent’s last 70 years.
DREAMING AN ISLAND (Sognando un’isola), documentary by Andrea Pellerani
Saturday, 22 January 2022 – 13h00, Canva Blue

What would happen if everything stopped? If the wheels of the economy were to come off permanently? The Japanese island of Ikeshima is a place that seems to be ahead of its time, showing us a possible future. The few remaining inhabitants live in a surreal setting, clinging firmly to a normality that seems however to escape them. A dreamlike journey, which forces us to think about our relationship with the planet but also about social isolation and loneliness.
