The Summer School intends to be an advanced course of new practices of cinema, combining a critical thought with the contact with great creators of film and contemporary art. The diversity of procedural approaches, as well as the decisive themes of the present world, will be presented by directors/artists of great international relevance, assisted by thinkers, critics and academics who will discuss the work developed during the week. The Summer School is structured in six days, and each day is dedicated to one of the directors/artists who, at different times and with different structures, will be in direct contact with the participants, in a creative and informal environment.

Besides the workshops, the Summer School has also an open program, mostly comprised of screenings and exhibitions openings from the directors or artists present in Porto. This program is offered to the city and its lively cultural audience.

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

Following the main guidelines for this year’s Summer School, we invite artists, scholars and collectives to submit a proposal for a 3 hours’ workshop (deadline: May 31) to take place during the mornings of the School. These workshops can take different forms: more performative or more theoretical, addressing the pressing issues presented in the curatorial text.

Submitted proposals should reflect the Summer School’s main theme tracing a vast array of lines of inquiry. Among others, proposals could be articulated to explore either through research or artistic practice topics like:

- Brazilian Epistemological Entanglements

- The Possibility of a Southern Modernism

- Indigenous Futurisms and Science-Fictions

- Aural Visual Travels on Brazilian Cultures

- Cross-cultural relations between Portugal and Brazil

- Questions of Political Awareness on Class, Race and Gender

- Artistic and Animism Practices

- Indigenous Cultures and Imaginaries

We strongly suggest the articulation of the above topics with artistic practices.
