Film Screening: BE ANYTHING, BE NOTHING, BE WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO BE

BE ANYTHING, BE NOTHING, BE WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO BE

Hiding Places, by Magdalena Bermudez

Women pretend to be rocks. Military operations masquerade as art education. One woman deserts to pursue a more radical act of unselfing.

Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me, by Alice dos Reis

A soul waits to be reincarnated while reflecting back on her past life as a nun, who worked at the Vatican Astronomical Observatory in early-20th century. There, she took part in the “Carte du Ciel” — an ambitious international project to map the night sky, earning the early title of “computer” as a result of processing repetitive calculations.

Disillusioned with her previous existence, she considers becoming a coder in her next life, amidst the wave of economic optimism awaiting her reincarnation in 1990s Portugal.
