Pixadores 52 min
K special. Fyra unga män från slummen i São Paulo har ett gemensamt mål i livet: att genom graffiti kritisera samhället de lever i. De kallas för Pixadores och sysslar med en typ av politisk graffiti som är unik för Brasilien. På nätterna riskerar de sina liv då de utan säkerhetslinor klättrar högt upp på offentliga byggnader för att spreja sina slagord. När de bjuds in till Berlinbiennalen uppstår en ordentlig kulturkrock. Curatorn verkar inte alls förstå vad det är som driver de fyra vännerna. Är de artister, anarkister eller rent av brottslingar? Regi: Amir Escandari.
Kan ses till sön 31 maj

Many years has passed by since Barcelona’s writer Rocky discovered Brazil for the first time. Capoeira which is one of his greatest passions in life, was the main reason for him to convert this enormous country into his second home. As he puts it himself, “wherever I go I bring with me who I am, and I am graffiti”, and Brazil has also been the second playground to develop him as a graffiti writer in his life.

‘Contos de Brasil’ is a short documentary which collects Rocky’s experiences in the main cities of the country during the years he has been going there. From the layups to the favelas, this writer from Barcelona has developed a european graffiti tradition in a society completely different from his natural habitat and brings us some really interesting adventures which makes us witness the most humane side of graffiti culture: An unforgettable experience where we also get to meet other writers like Biz, Moar, Vista and Beam.
