Mostra Internacional de Cinema Anti-Racista - MICAR 2020
Event
In its 7th edition, the International Anti-Racist Film Festival intends to contribute to the decoding and exposing the racial, ethnocentric, and xenophobic system that prevails in the architecture of time and space in which we live in. In order to question this architecture, it is urgent to discuss its devices and its lexicons and grammars, namely those used in the education system, by the security forces and border police, the judicial services and courts and the agencies institutionally in charge for fighting discrimination and for integration. MICAR 2020 also intends to trigger a plural and effective debate on consistent alternatives for fighting racism and ethnic-racial discrimination and for building an egalitarian society that fosters effective integration, participation and full mobility and citizenship for every man and woman. We shall discuss the role played by culture and the media - for instance, entertainment, debate and political analysis programmes - and the way in which these have been trivialising, in the public and olitical arena, forms of violence and incitement to hatred that again victimise women and men who daily face racism and xenophobia.
