Aufzeichnung der Veranstaltung vom 05.12.2024 im Kino des DFF
THE TERROR AND THE TIME des Victor Jara Collective untersucht, begleitet von der Poesie Martin Carters, den britischen Kolonialismus in Guyana, indem er sich auf drei historische Momente konzentriert.
„Der titelgebende Terror ist der britische Kolonialismus in Guyana; die Zeit ist 1953, das Jahr der ersten Wahlen unter einer provisorischen demokratischen Verfassung.“ (Courtisane, Gent)
„Als Kind von Eusi Kwayana, einem der Interviewpartner im Film und einem guten Freund des verstorbenen Martin Carter, habe ich miterlebt, wie Carters Einfluss über Worte hinausging und einen poetischen Widerstand inspirierte, der die befreiende Vorstellungskraft der Filmemacher von THE TERROR AND THE TIME und der in Widerstandsbewegungen engagierten Zeitgenossen beflügelte.” (Iyabo Kwayana)
„Iyabo Kwayana is an an educator and independent filmmaker whose film career spans from serving as director of photography for fiction films, to director or (co)cinematographer for award-winning documentaries, to directing and editing archival experimental films that leverage minstrel imagery to NASA footage to articulate personal trauma and catharsis.”
