	 € 7\n\nSecond episode of Trendy Tropics\, the series of films that confro
	nts a simple\nparadox: Europe loves to talk about the Global South but rar
	ely listens to it.\nSocial media feeds overflow with opinions\, outrage\, 
	and trending solidarities.\nYet behind these circulating images\, real liv
	es remain abstract\, distant\, almost\nfictional. We want to reverse the g
	aze. Films from Africa\, Latin America and\nAsia speak back not as case st
	udies\, not as moral lessons\, but as lived\nrealities\, contradictions an
	d all that comes with it. Ventilator wants to invite\naudiences to step be
	yond the comfort of “awareness” and into the unsettling\nspace of genuine 
	encounter. With screenings\, live music\, shared food\, and an\nopen space
	 for confrontation\, Trendy Tropics merges art and activism not to make\nu
	s feel better about the world\, but to see it more clearly.\n\n19.00 Doors
	 open\n\nAround 19.30 screening Güeros (2014)\n\n21.30 Gabo y Claudia\n\nG
	üeros (2014)\, directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios\, follows Sombra and his yo
	unger\nbrother\, Tomás\, as they search for a forgotten folk singer during
	 the student\nstrikes in Mexico City. The story captures their journey thr
	ough a city\nundergoing a time of change.\n\nGabo y Claudia will close the
	 evening by sharing a selection of sweet\,\nwell-known Latin American song
	s to soothe our hearts.\n\nAnd don't forget\, Gabo's delicious Mexican tam
	ales and town's best Tres-leches\nwill be served too.
