Free on Bail

Invalid Date

Guided by a fortune teller, a young Black gay man embarks on a journey through the tarot cards to revisit the wounds of his past, overcome rejection, and understand the price of freedom. Between pain and self-discovery, he dies and is reborn to realize that the true bail for freedom is confidence — in himself, his voice, and his purpose. Blending six songs and seven poems into a cinematic narrative, Livre com Fiança is a visual album about self-esteem, faith, and liberation. Written, directed, and produced by Spartakus, with music videos by Ricardo Souza, Marco Antonio Ferreira, and Breno Shinn, the film reflects on how the pursuit of success and popularity can imprison the soul — and how self-love and respect for diversity can become the path to true freedom.

Triumph des guten Willens

Jan 23, 2016

The last part of the series How to remember? Is concerned with the texts of the publicist Eike Geisel (1945-1997). At the center are Geisel's criticisms of German remembrance politics and his thesis on the "reparation of the Germans". Texts by Geisel from the 1990s, including the Neue Wache and the Holocaust memorial in Berlin, contrast with today's pictures of the memorial sites described. They show a normality that does not really exist.
