La Cueca, Before God

This film takes us to Chile for a deep dive into cueca, the national dance of Chile. The cueca brava music scenes in Valparaíso and Santiago, which many compare to the tango scene in Buenos Aires or the fado scene in Lisbon (only much less popular and away from tourism), had been going through hard times under the Pinochet years. They had been manipulated and stripped of their radical potential for social commentary; it was only in the early 2000s that many (young) locals rediscovered it… and danced it, played it and re-invented it.

Tlatelolco

Rather than focusing on the monuments and representational architecture of the Plaza, Tlatelolco concentrates on the neighboring residential high-rises. Built in the 1960s under the supervision of modernist Mario Pani, Unidad Habitacional Nonoalco-Tlatelolco is the largest apartment complex in Mexico City. Realized at the zenith of Mexico’s economic boom, Pani’s vision of a “vertical city” beyond class distinctions has itself been shaken up on multiple occasions. Schreiber and cameraman Johannes Hammel capture the fading of an urban architectural utopia.

Ilha

The echoes of an island remain in space and memory, Voices resonate, alive. A moment and a place, the alive are shadows that walk across the faded landscape of the cove. The history settle in the present. History project its cry. Three women troubadours. A device that catches the voice. A painter that brings back color. "They are fortunate islands, they are lands without a place. Where the king lives waiting, but if we start to wake up, the voice shuts up and there is only the sea."
