The films

De-Domestication [Dutch Premiere]
English & Portuguese – English subtitles

A dr ag cow from the Alps and a drag jaguar from the Amazon trace the same woun d across different skins: the animal industry and colonial extraction, the suppression of queer life and indigenous knowledge, the monoculture of bo dies and of ecosystems. De-Domestication is a 25-minute road movie of the unleashed — two creatures who use drag, performance and loving disobedienc e as tools of liberation, moving across borders that were drawn to contain them. Filmed between the Brazilian Amazon and the Swiss glaciers, the fil m brings together Afro-indigenous Brazilian artist Rafa Bqueer and Swiss-J ewish performance artist Daniel Hellmann as their alter egos Uhura and Soy a the Cow, in a work that refuses to separate the taming of animals from t he taming of bodies, desires, and lands. The nature-justice-climate crisis is also a crisis of our imagination!
