MINKA DE LA MEMORIA

ANFASEP (the Association of Families of Abducted, Detained and Missing from Peru) organizes a minka in the grounds of La Hoyada de Ayacucho, where hundreds of civilians were extrajudicially executed and buried in clandestine graves or burned by members of the Peruvian Army in the 1980s.

KROPOTKIN HAS A FEMALE VISION

The video consists of four scenes, in which I play four women who lived with Kropotkin and tell their own story and his.

They are:
1- Uliana, mistress of the family keys and who, after the death of Catalina Kropotkin, mother of Kropotkin was the main responsible for taking care of him and his brother Alejandro.
2-Sophia Perovskaya, friend of Kropotkin in her youth and sentenced to death for having participated in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.
3-Sofia Ananieva Kropotkin, who was Kropotkin's wife and partner for more than 40 years.
4-Catarina, the nurse who cared for him in the last days of his life.

WE FIGHT FOR THIS LAND

This documentary follows the lives of two communities in the Amazonian state of Maranhão, Brazil, who resist ecological violence and attempt to conserve their traditional, more sustainable ways of life. The quilombola community – descendants of runaway slaves – in Boa Hora 3/Manorama have been living off the land for generations. The indigenous Ka’apor community have been resisting settler violence since the beginning of colonization. They face constant ecological violence in the form of murders of their leaders and land grabs by local farmers.

SPAIN ONE... PORTUGAL ZERO (Memoirs of a prisoner of war)

Jose Ric Derné, 103-year-old anti-fascist militant exiled in France, dusts off his memory as a combatant and prisoner during the Spanish Civil War and World War II.

With surprising lucidity, not lacking in good humor, he is degrading his memories, his antics during the terrible stage he had to live, first as a combatant against the Spanish rebel army and later prison. After his escape and exile to France, as a prisoner of the German army. It is the same or similar tragedy suffered by many Spaniards that, lost the war, for being from the POUM, Communists, Socialists or anarchists, that is, Republicans, had to exile to save their lives. But José Ric, far from showing himself in this documentary as a war hero, does it without a bit of hatred or resentment, simply as a witness to all that horror, of how he overcame difficulties: uprooting, language, economic penury... leaving us all a lesson of survival, coherence and love to his family and life.

LIVE TO FIGHT
Part of a series of documentaries about the anarcopunk scene in Brazil in the 90s, the first episode recalls the important connection between punk, anarchism and feminism that emerged at the time. In the case of women punks created collectives, zines, bands, networks, anarchofeminist meetings and projects that shook the needs of feminism not only within the punk and anarchist movements, but for their own lives. Through the stories of women who lived that story, both in the anarc@punk movement and in other punk contexts of the time, gather some of those countless struggle experiences.

ALL GOVERNMENTS KILL US

This audiovisual chronicle is built from fragments extracted from the internet, during the first year of the disappearance and subsequent murder of the Brujo, the fellow anarchist Santiago Maldonado.

The state apparatus and the political class, through its judges, prosecutors and officials, and through the media of incommunication, tried to cover up this crime, creating fonts and concealing the truth about it

Murder of the partner, after the brutal repression of the Argentine gendarmerie, on August 1, 2017, on the route 40 to Esquel, in the province of Rio black Argentinian region.

The witch was standing in solidarity with the community in resistance Pulof Cushamen, fighting for the liberation of his Lonko, Facundo Jones Huala, and supporting in the process of reclaiming land to the multinational Benetton.

FLOWERS UNDER THE ICE

With aesthetic references in the graphic novel and a return to the stillness of the frame and composition, "Flowers under the Ice" illuminates through the memory of anonymous, invisible, victims and resilient women of the war and Francoist dictatorship, a rough, real and hidden story of Spain. Collective story of a cruel glacier, in which its protagonists entertain stories of life, stories of individual survival, where to live was to resist. Mosaic of glances that draw a universal account of crimes against humanity committed in the 20th century, never recognized, never judged, never purified and still unpunished.

OUR PUNISHMENT

When the PCP Sendero Luminoso began its armed struggle against the Peruvian State at the beginning of the eighties, the Alto Andean community of Hualla became one of its first "liberated" zones. But Hualla would soon pay a very high cost for having become a support base for the subversion. 30 years after the end of violence, the community inaugurates a memory space honoring the victims left there by the internal armed conflict and their residents break the silence on a past that still hurts.

I think the title should say "Anarchist" not "International" like the poster itself says? Though of course it does seem to be international in content.
