Just 5 days to go to our Cine Latino Night in collaboration with Cine Latino Festival + Cine Latino Night & Filmcasino ❣️ It will take place on the 16th of September at 20:30pm and we’ll be screening ‘La Bachata De Bionico’ by Yoel Morales.

There will be a music performance by 🧿 PHΔΣDRΔ 🧿 that we can’t wait for, artworks on display and sale by Frida Paleo, great food by Santo restaurant and a Q&A after the film with Sylvie Weber ✨ Get your tickets via the link in bio and join us! 🖇️

Phaedra3000 (🧿 PHΔΣDRΔ 🧿) is a performer, singer and songwriter a traveler between multiverses, carrying the ancestral memories and past lives of her Latin American lineage, from the sacred depths of the jungle to distant planets and the infinite reaches of space. Her voice channels ancient memory, fury of the feminine power and wild freedom. A syncretic fusion of Shamanic Latin Hop, Sonic Sounds and metaphysical essence, her music explores madness and spiritual encounters, human connection and invisible forces that bring us together. Her music questions the structures that normalize control, prejudice and inequality, turning sound into a space for awakening, resistance and collective transformation.

Frida Paleo (Frida Paleo, Mérida, México)

Frida is based in Vienna since 2021. She grew up leafing through books on painting and photography. Listening to Cuban boleros, disco and rancheras. Spending my weekends by the sea and having lunch everyday with her grandparents. As a true nostalgia addict, she collects her experiences and travels through writing, drawings, paintings, photos, collages and sometimes all of them together.

A raw vision of love in a hostile Caribbean city, Bionico’s Bachata is a mockumentary that follows a hopeless romantic, addicted to crack, who must take control of his life if he wants to marry the woman he loves.

“Exploring the marginalized outskirts of Santo Domingo, Bionico’s Bachata offers a compassionate portrait of its characters, balancing surrealism with harsh reality in a distinctive way. The film examines the challenges of love amidst drug addiction, poverty, and ignorance.” Diario Libre

Moments from a program ‘Performed as Given: How Realities are staged, repeated, and undone’ and a Q&A with moderated by .achavez at .

Attention shifts from content to construction, where realities are re-enacted, circulated, and kept in play. How do archives, art, science, and film sustain what passes as given? In this program, the performance doesn’t quite hold. Echoes of colonial image-making resurface – gestures repeat, roles shift, meaning slips. Moving through spectacle and storytelling, these films stage myth until it starts to crumble. What appears as given reveals itself as constructed. Attention: the frame shows!

World premiere of the film China Girl by Sophia Yuet See (, ). Curated by Mara Chavez (Gewächshaus).

Thank you so much for joining us! 🧡

Learning from the Best is back, join us on May 7! 🌸 This is our season’s last learning from the best before our summer break. Don’t miss out and join us for our season finale, a D–Arts () × Gewächshaus crossover!

Behind the Screens with Djamila Grandits (.a)

Who decides which films are seen, discussed, and remembered? What challenges come with working between institutions, festivals, and independent initiatives? Who gets to be involved in these fields? What networks of care and solidarity are needed within, across, and beyond the field?

We’ll dive into Djamila Grandits’ experiences working across programming, curation, funding, film mediation, moderation, and festival ecosystems. Together, we’ll explore the many forms of labour that help films find their way to the screen and keep them alive long afterwards.
