Intercultural Days: Film Screening of “Even the Rain”

Together with Filmgalerie Dresden e. V. and Ausländerrat Dresden e. V., we are screening the film “Even the Rain” as part of the Intercultural Weeks.

A film crew is shooting a film in Bolivia about the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the “New World”. The roles of the “historical” Indigenous people are played by Indigenous actors who themselves are involved in resisting present-day forms of oppression.
In particular, the conflict over the use of rainwater becomes increasingly explosive. This visually powerful and excellently acted drama uses a cleverly constructed film-within-a-film narrative to reflect on past and present forms of exploitation on several levels.
