Film screening: São Palco - Cidade Afropolitana
by Jasper Chalcraft and Rose Satiko Gitirana Hikiji.
Synopsis: What do African artists who have arrived in Brazil in recent years carry with them on their journey? The documentary presents the city of São Paulo as a meta-stage occupied by artists from Togo, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola, among other African nations, in dialogue with the Brazilian population and its openness, contradictions, and tensions.
