Il terribile inganno

First-person story of Maria, fifty, wife, mother and worker, who through the encounter with today's feminist practices of the "Non Una Di Meno" movement in Milan, takes stock of being a woman today. Intrigued by the "global women's strike", proclaimed on March 8, 2017 by Non Una Di Meno, Maria participates in the Milanese demonstration. Here for the first time she hears about the "Feminist Plan Against Male Violence Against Women and Gender Violence" that the movement is writing. The plan describes the directions of a necessary change in several fields where a stereotypical and sexist perspective of genders and the power relations between them is replicated that is the basis of the violence that is intended to be overcome.

War! Club! Action!

War! Club! Action! is an ode to Douk Saga (1974-2006), the creator of the Ivorian-French musical genre called Coupé Décalé. This popular music genre plays a great part in Oyiri’s music practice with its maximalism and club culture ethos. Coupé Décalé was born in the midst of the Ivorian political crisis and civil war yet the genre was always synonymous with a raging optimism and hedonism. War! Club! Action! challenges the western idea of protest music, entertainment and anonymity in the music industry. Oyiri deepens and makes explicit the political meaning of Douk Saga's musical production by preceding its "Douk Saga En Fête" video clip with an introductory sequence, as well as a mock interview of a fictional figure: DJ Eminence Grise.

Gold Mining and Violence in the Amazon Rainforest

Since Jair Bolsonaro assumed the presidency of Brazil in 2019, vast tracts of the Amazon rainforest and the indigenous communities that live in and care for it have been subjected to increasing violence and a rapid increase in illegal gold mining, encouraged by his administration's rhetoric and policies. The research had three interrelated dimensions: the policies adopted by the Bolsonaro administration, the violent attacks against Yanomami villages, and the destruction of the environment. The evidence strongly suggested that the policies and rhetoric of the Bolsonaro administration before and during his presidential term correspond with the rapid increase in environmental destruction and violence against indigenous peoples throughout the Amazon.

Strawberries

Strawberries is part of a series of ‘miniature’ films that Quaintance is continually producing. These short films are all under three minutes long and allow the filmmaker to explore a single formal or conceptual idea. The process of realisation can either be loose and improvisatory or time intensive and heavily edited. Each of the films uses either archival material, or footage Quaintance has shot using a DV of High 8 video camera. Using these mediums, instead of 16mm, allows for quicker production and a more intuitive approach.
