ABOUT THE FILMS:
THERE ARE NO RADICAL FUTURES
Filmed in Paris during the summit organized by La Fanfare Invisible in May 2025, the film follows nineteen activist fanfares from different parts of Europe for four days. In rehearsals, workshops, and street actions, the musicians play together to protest against violence, inequality, the climate crisis, patriarchy, racism, and fascism. Participating in the summit were Banda Basaglia (Naples, Italy), Banda Comunale(Dresden, Germany), Fiatelle Braskapelle(Dresden, Germany), XR Block Brass (Netherlands), Beatprotest (Munich, Germany), Acabanda (Bologna, Italy), Antifafare (Brussels, Belgium), Fanfare van de Eerste Liefdesnacht (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Banda Ramua (Munich, Germany), Street Noise Orchestra(Innsbruck, Austria), Fonc (Milan, Italy), Strampalabanda (Turin, Italy), Ottoni a Scoppio (Milan, Italy), Fanfarria Transfeminista (Madrid, Spain), La Fanfare Invisible (Paris, France), Clé de Lutte(France), Fanfare Militante / Fa-mi-le(Lausanne, Switzerland), Flûte des Classes (Paris, France) and La Locomotive Fanfare. (Paris, France).
FANFARE 2025
Fanfare 2025 is a dystopian fiction that unfolds in bucolic settings. Filmed in Giethoorn, a water town in the interior of the Netherlands – the same one where Bert Haanstra shot the Dutch classic Fanfare (1958) – the film recreates and updates the original narrative: a rural philharmonic band divided by internal disputes is still trying to make it in time for the national competition.
But time, here, is different. In this version, the musicians, as in Haanstra's original work, are at odds, divided by petty disputes that waste their time. Fernandes works with a Drents fanfare —De Bergklanken—, which acts as the protagonist of the film.

Priscila Fernandes is an artist whose practice spans painting, drawing, installation, photography, video, and book publishing.
