Trendy Tropics, the new series of films that confronts a si mple paradox: Europe loves to talk about the Global South but rarely liste ns to it. Social media feeds overflow with opinions, outrage, and trending solidarities. Yet behind these circulating images, real lives remain abst ract, distant, almost fictional. We want to reverse the gaze. Films from A frica, Latin America and Asia speak back not as case studies, not as moral lessons, but as lived realities, contradictions and all that comes with i t. Ventilator wants to invite audiences to step beyond the comfort of “awa reness” and into the unsettling space of genuine encounter. With screening s, live music, shared food, and an open space for confrontation, Trendy Tr opics merges art and activism not to make us feel better about the world, but to see it more clearly.

Bice ntenario (2020), On the 200th anniversary of Simon Bolivar’s libe ration journey across Colombia, Bicentenario reflects on the far- reaching consequences of the liberator’s legacy, a legacy kept alive throu gh a wide range of intentional and unintentional rituals of remembrance. S ummoning Bolivar’s spirit in the exact landscapes that witnessed the battl es, Bicentenario reveals the contemporary social rituals that per petuate the ongoing violence residing deep within the social and political unconscious. Two hundred years after his campaign, Simon Bolivar’s spirit has become a mix of political mysticism, unquestioned doctrine, and enigm a—or perhaps a curse that has fixed itself in the collective imaginary of an entire continent. It is this curse that Bicentenario seeks to invoke and perhaps exorcise. (Pablo Alvarez-Mesa)
