Join iniva and Brixton Community Cinema for a screening of Ôri (1989), directed by Raquel Gerber, the film documents the Black Brazilian Movement from 1977 to 1998; and follows historian and activist Beatriz Nascimento, a key figure who helped Black people in Brazil understand their history and future.
Ôri explores the politics of Black identity, memory, and diaspora through the powerful concept of the quilombo, a symbol of resistance and collective autonomy rooted in both African and diasporic histories.
At a moment when the latest São Paulo Biennale has reignited global conversations around decoloniality, resistance, and transatlantic connections between Africa and Brazil, this screening offers London audiences an opportunity to reflect on how these themes resonate across the diaspora.
This event is happening with the support of BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.
About Brixton Community Cinema
Brixton Community Cinema is a pop-up cinema, intended to bring affordable international and independent film to a community who, despite immense cultural contributions, face uneven access to arts institutions.
The cinema screens a range of films across genre and format which foreground subaltern voices and experiences, and showcase the breadth of experimental approaches to using film as a medium of expression and protest.
Operating in vacant spaces, on a pay-what-you-can basis, it aims to explore ways to minimise both the financial and non-financial barriers to cinema-going.
Accessibility
This film’s running time is 100-minutes. It was originally filmed in Portuguese and has English subtitles.
