Southern Sorceresses (2020) + Degenere (2023)
Line up: Pride Outdoor Cinema, at Radio Radio

Filmhuis Cavia is a community-run cinema with more than forty years of existence. Part of that long history has been created together with LGBTQ+ communities who have gathered in our filmhuis to organise and watch different programs and festivals such as TranScreen, Roze Filmdagen, Porn Film Festival Amsterdam, Kissable Screens, and several stand-alone movies that center queer people. 

For this occasion we join efforts with Radio Radio to celebrate Amsterdam as a WorldPride city, bringing our summer outdoor cinema to Westerpark. On July 31 and August 1, we’ll screen a selection of films that are festive, while also inviting us to reflect on topics such as patriarchy, racism, coloniality and heteronormativity through the lens of queerness.

Location: Radio Radio
Pazzanistraat 3, Amsterdam
 

Southern Sorceresses (Para Onde Voam as Feiticeiras)

Beto Amaral, Carla Caffé, Eliane Caffé | 2020 | Brazil | 89’ | EN subtitles 

Southern Sorceresses follows the drift of performances and improvisations by seven queer artists through the streets of downtown São Paulo in a cinematic experience that makes visible the persistence of archaic gender and race prejudices in the common imagination. At the heart of this polyphonic narrative is the importance of political resistance through alliances of common struggle between LGBTQIA+ collectives, black people, indigenous people, and homeless workers.
 

Degenere

Sara Asprilla Palomino | 2023 | Colombia | 19’ | EN subtitles

Dorothy's dream was to perform on stage in a skirt and be recognized as the woman she was, but she died before fulfilling it. Her best friend Misael, a 60 year old gay man, will make it happen. In Chocó, the Colombian state with the largest afro-descendant population and the highest poverty rates, Misael creates the first queer folk dance group together with four trans women and four gay men, questioning their traditions that are defended by cultural values in order to erase their queerness.
