"Granddaughters of Witches"? A discussion about the reality of the modern woman. Featuring anthropologist Carla Cristina Garcia and artist MC Tha.
An engaging reflection on the meaning of existence and on the theme of death in the different spiritual traditions of the East and West.
Murilo Peres and Pedro Barros get a once-in-a-lifetime pass to roll on the fabled curves of some undisputed masterpieces of modern architecture. Oscar Niemeyer remains one of the most important architects in modern history. The Brazilian visionary, who died in 2012 aged 104, elevated modern architecture beyond the realms of function and created buildings that are works of art and express the highest attributes of humanity. His work with reinforced concrete in particular created new architectural forms and possibilities, eschewing the tyranny of angles to create waves and swooping arches of such soaring beauty that they represent nothing less than physical poetry.
A man paves his own way to his own soul through an intellectual quest, tragedies of nations and personal drama. The road moving through the cosmic distances is a flight into one's internal world. This flight and this drama are revealed in this philosophical film-poem.
Do we farm to produce food or money? Is it profitable to produce without poisons? How do I want to feed myself? Can we imagine agriculture with a focus on biodiversity and the health of the soil and people? Producers, marketers, and consumers open their gates and doors to affirm that the way is agroecology. If you are interested in the present and future of how we inhabit this planet, listen to them. It is time to change course; it is time for a new paradigm.
The day begins with an exchange of favours. An interview, a football game, cigarettes after cigarettes. Routine fragments of those who live in an isolated space which labels and conditions life choices.
