Political Cinema

Through abrupt soundtrack shifts, this short film jumps between historical political imagery to explore the cinematic language of propaganda, unpacking complex concepts through sensory explosions — from the Brazilian military dictatorship to the Chinese revolution.

À Festa. À Guerra.

Lokkhi Elo Ghore

“Lokkhi Elo Ghore” is a socially rooted film that captures the everyday struggles and resilience of women across Bengal. It tells the story of a widowed woman who, after facing profound personal loss and economic hardship, gradually rebuilds her life with courage, dignity, and determination. The narrative reflects how timely institutional support and welfare interventions can enable self-reliance, restore confidence, and create pathways to social and economic empowerment. Through a deeply human lens, the film highlights the transformative impact of last-mile delivery of welfare schemes. At its core, “Lokkhi Elo Ghore” is a story of hope, resilience, and the quiet strength of women.

The Life That Will Come

This documentary, made entirely of archival footage shot mainly by amateurs, revisits 50 years of Chilean history. A fascinating lesson in memory, this personal montage adopts a popular, even fringe, perspective to help write a more complete national memory. As the filmmaker asserts in her narration, there’s the history we’re told, the history we live, and the history we tell ourselves. Between the coup d’état of September 11, 1973, and the recent double failure of the new constitution project, this film shows that the people of Chile have long oscillated between excitement and disappointment, accumulating shattered hopes. Rejecting the pessimism that would trap us in collective immobility, Karin Cuyul instead draws on the past to ask how we can continue to dream of the necessary social and political changes.
