Monday 22 March: "Separations"
On Monday evening, please join us for a special screening of Mieke Bal and Andréa Seligmann Silva's 2009 film, "Separations."

In this autobiographical film, a diasporic Brazilian family is reunited in São Paulo. All five siblings, at one time or another, have established themselves abroad. While exploring the reasons behind this connection to the foreign in her family, Andréa, a filmmaker living in Amsterdam, interviews the members of her family. They all evoke a psychotic crisis their mother had five years ago. So Andréa begins to focus her inquiry on what took place then, as well as on the traumatic events of a generation ago.

Edith, Andréa’s Jewish mother, was three years old when her parents escaped from Nazi Germany in 1939. The question of the migratory now turns both backwards and forwards, and danger becomes as potent a motive as the attraction to foreign places.

Separations was selected for the Bright Future program of the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2010.
