The film “A Câmara”, by directors Cristiane Bernardes and Tiago de Aragão, will be shown on 05/04, at 3 p.m., in the auditorium of the Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology (LISA). After the session, a debate will take place with both directors present.
Synopsis:
"From the depths of the Brazilian parliament, we follow female deputies doing politics. Topics such as reproductive rights, education, secular state, racism and political polarization come to the fore, as we follow these women closely in their debates and political performances.
A Câmara is an observational documentary that follows the routine of federal deputies in the 56th legislature. Filmed between May and July 2022, the film presents experiences and spaces in the Chamber of Deputies based on the presence and performances of women from different states and political spectrums exercising their mandates.”

The group will perform on two occasions: at Sesc Santo André, on Sunday (August 13th) at 2 pm, when they will present their artefacts, songs and dances, in addition to being available for a conversation with the public; and Tuesday (August 15th) at 8 pm at Cine Sesc, when the premiere of the documentary "Bibiru: kaikuxi panema" will take place. The film has as its protagonist a dog that lost his luck in hunting and portrays his owner's attempt to cure him, while teaching young people about the ancestral values of his people. The story was completely filmed by directors Wayana and Aparai in the Bona village and is part of a trilogy about the indigenous food production regimes: the first deals with fishing, the second with the collection of açaí and the third with hunting.
The film's launch will feature the presence of the main indigenous filmmakers and their partners, who will answer questions from the public. The free program is part of the Indigenous August organized by Sesc-SP, an event that features around 150 activities with indigenous peoples in the capital, interior and coast of the State.
The event is organized by Sesc-SP in partnership with the Sawe institute, the Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology of the University of São Paulo, the Wayana and Aparai Indigenous Peoples Association, and was supported by Iepé, the Research and Training Institute Indigenous.
LISA publishes the extension course O Caminho do Alabê - Raquel Trindade's Methodology, which will take place in a hybrid form (at LISA, in person, and simultaneously transmitted online). The course will be taught by Vitor da Trindade, grandson of Solano Trindade and son of Raquel Trindade, with Elis Trindade. Stay tuned for registration dates as places are limited.
The course addresses the rhythms of the Orixás, with their dances and musical manifestations, including their influence on Brazilian Music. The motto and reference will be the instrumentalists/priests of the Orixás, fundamental in Brazilian musicality. The dialogues offered in these meetings will be based on the self-taught methodology of the Solano Trindade Family, with the fusion between theory and practice, and the proposal of movement, sound and well-being as an epistemology.
