The event will take place at Cine Teatro Guaranyon Sete de Setembro Avenue, 1.546, Center, attached to the Palácio Rio Negro Cultural Center.. Admission is free.
This year, the Mostra presents the theme "Futurewith productions from eight countries. Eight films have been selected that capture a planet in trance, be it because of the visible effects of the environmental crisis or the technological solutions.
The program starts next Monday (3/6), at 7 pm, with the comedy "Dawn in Kimmeria" (Cyprus, 2018), directed by Simon Farmakas, which has the story unfolding from an unidentified object that falls inside a UN control area. After it happens, a young farmer picks up the object and brings it to the surface, which sets off a series of unbelievable events.
On Tuesday (4/6), it will be the turn of "The start-up - Give your future a play" (Italy, 2017), also at 7 pm. The drama, by director Alessandro D'Alatri, is based on real facts and tells the story of a boy who, in pursuit of realizing his dream of becoming a successful swimmer, creates an application capable of ranking candidates for different professional tasks using a mathematical algorithm that evaluates the merit of each.
On Wednesday (5/6), at 7pm, the documentary "Building the future - 100 years of the Bauhaus" (Germany, 2018), which tells a history of the culture of modern thinking about space, about the Bauhaus school of art and architecture, and analyzes how it continues to inspire over 100 years. It is directed by Niels Bolbrinker and Thomas Tielsch.
On Thursday (6/6), at 7pm, the space will host the drama and action short film "The Last Well (Croatia, 2017), directed by Filip Filkovic, which tells a story in the year 2037, when Europe is in crisis, and the owner of the last well of clean, natural water is forced to make decisions against his will.
On the same day, at 7:20 pm, the drama "The romantic exiles" (Spain, 2015). Directed by Jonás Trueba, the film tells the story of three friends who want to experience new emotions, something that makes them feel alive. It may be an attempt to spend the last moments of youth with a certain heroism, or perhaps it is a showcase of the decadence of the male gender.
On Friday (7/6), at 7pm, the documentary "Bikes versus Cars" (Sweden, 2015), in which former correspondent and columnist Fredrik Gertten, who directs the documentary, shows how activists and cities around the world are moving toward a new system of urban mobility.
Closing the Mostra's program, on Saturday (8/6), at 4pm, will be screened the documentary "What are we waiting for?" (France, 2016), by Marie-Monique Robin. The story takes place in a small town in Alsace, with 2,000 inhabitants, which has begun the process of transitioning to the pre-oil era, deciding to reduce its environmental impact.
On the same day, at 7 pm, the comedy "Liza, the Fairy Fox" (Hungary, 2015), in which a woman dreams of living a romance, but all her suitors die in an extreme and violent way. This makes her wonder the worst: is she a fox fairy? A demon from Japanese mythology? Directed by Károly Ujj Mészáros.
