Smiles of Peace

The yoga of laughter is a therapy that combines four actions: play, sing, dance and laugh, which makes us children again and allows us to approach a state of full happiness. This therapy unifies laughter (body), humor (mind) and love (spirit), basic principles of meditation. It works as a game dynamic, which progressively traps the participants. The benefits are innumerable, among them, the improvement in breathing, reactivation of metabolism and stimulation of a better emotional state. The documentary “Sonrisas de Paz” shows the journey made by the therapist Claudio Ortega Pérez, performing yoga sessions of laughter and fire homa in places in Chile that have been the scene of tragic or violent episodes throughout history, with the object of transforming their energy and clearing them of the negative charge that has persisted through time.

Fertile Land at Full Tide

Birth is, in many peoples, a time of celebration and worship. However, over the years, the hospitalization of childbirth has destroyed many of the roots that linked us to the ancestral culture. The documentary discusses stories of women who exercised the profession of partaking and brought knowledge that goes beyond obstetric training, presenting birth in a natural and humanized way. The relationship between midwife and parturient, non-medical solutions, and spirituality appear as paths to female freedom while they represent a connection with the ancestry erased by time.

FCAT & Heritales @ Evora – Portugal (22nd-23rd of February 2019)

Training for cultural programmers and managers for the visibility of African cinema

African cinematographies are still the most unknown in the world, despite the fact that more and more awards and prizes are awarded in the main film festivals of the world (from Berlin to Venice, passing through Cannes), being applauded not only by the public but also by the directors and programmers of festivals. This ignorance is even more difficult to understand in societies that seem to have forgotten the historical relationships and links with African cultures: if on one hand the culture and traditions of Andalusia and the Algarve owe so much to their historical relations with the Maghreb, on the other hand, we must not forget that Alentejo, Algarve and all of Portugal have been enriched culturally and economically by the former Portuguese-speaking African colonies. The project “TRAINING OF CULTURAL PROGRAMMERS AND MANAGERS FOR THE VISIBILITY OF THE CINEMAS OF AFRICA: CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION BETWEEN THE EUROREGION CINEMATOGRAPHIC FESTIVALS AAA” aims to create stable links of collaboration between cultural entities of the AAA Euroregion in the cinematographic field to promote dialogue and cross-border cooperation. For this purpose, a joint work is proposed on the promotion in the cinematographic contests of the AAA Euroregion of the African cinematographic films and their diaspora. The work will be carried out in a training process aimed at programmers, managers and directors of film festivals in the Algarve, Alentejo and Andalusia, which foresees meetings (a preliminary one in Évora on February 22 and 23 and the final in Tarifa on the 29th of April to May 1), film viewings (on-line delivery from November to February, on-site in Tarifa), study of the history of African cinematography (on-line submission from November to February), meetings with experts and filmmakers Africans (in Évora and Tarifa). The project is organized by the association Al Tarab, creator of the annual African Film Festival of Tarifa and Tangier. Several directors and programmers of festivals of the AAA Euroregion are involved in the project: Paula Duque, director of the Marvão International Film Festival – PERIPERIAS (Alentejo), María Zozaya Montes, director of the International Festival of Cinema on Patrimony – HERITALES (Alentejo) , Carla Magro Dias, director of the International Festival of Curtas-metragens of Evora – FIKE (Alentejo), Marina Lanza, programmer of the International Film Festival of Lagoa – ALGARES (Algarve), José Ramón Martínez, co-director of the International Short Film Festival and Alternative Cinema of Benalmádena – FICCAB (Andalusia), David Sánchez, programmer of the International Short Film Festival in San Roque – FICSAN (Andalusia), Ana Isapel Pozo, programmer of the Festival Corto Genial of Puente Genil (Andalusia).
