Amplifying Voices from the Global South: New York
- · 6:30 PM
- 333 West 23 Street, New York, New York 10011 United States
VC New York is thrilled to team up with Al Jazeera English for Amplifying Voices from the Global South on Thursday, Oct 2 at 6:30pm. Join us at SVA Theatre for a special evening of connection, conversation, and bold storytelling centered on two of the most defining issues of our time: climate and migration. The screening includes a Q&A with the filmmakers, networking over light bites and zero-proof drinks, plus you can join us for an after-party at a spot nearby. Doors open at 6:30pm. Screening starts at 7:15pm. From disappearing landscapes, to a climate refugee building a future for her baby, and an Indigenous leader defending her village during fire season, this lineup of true stories will move you. Featuring: 🎣 Drowning Fish, directed by Amir El-Shenawy Set on Lake Qarun in Fayoum, Egypt, Drowning Fish follows one of the last remaining fishermen as he struggles with the lake’s severe decline; once a thriving source of life for centuries, now a fading memory driving the young away and leaving the old adrift in nostalgia. 🏠 Finding Home, directed by Maria Stanisheva A short animated documentary that tells the personal story of Antonia Jardenia da Silva from Brazil: a climate refugee forced to move from her home village to the big city in order to take care of her newborn baby as it struggles with microcephaly. 🌿 Fire Beneath Her, directed by Denise Dragiewicz A new fire season crackles to life in Kalimantan, Borneo as 29-year-old Emmanuela Shinta monitors the air quality and distributes face masks to thousands of villagers expecting the worst. Shinta knows this is not enough, so she starts raising funds to buy a plot of forest that she hopes will save her village from going up in flames. 🛶 Lost Songs of Sundari, directed by Sudarshan Sawant Once an island city linked by the sea, modern bridges and land reclamation have reshaped Mumbai’s landscape, disrupting the lives of its original communities. An old man, an enigmatic woman, and a child take turns narrating how their world, once bound by tradition and the sea, is now dissolving amidst rapid transformation and urbanization.
