9th of January 2024, 19:00, Instituto Cervantes Bremen
Desiderius: Reflexionen über ein Selbstporträt (2023) (engl.: Desiderius: Reflections about a self portrait) is a film about the history of a man living through the 20th century. Born in 1922 and a soldier in the Second World War, he emigrated to Argentina in 1948, where his son fell victim to the military dictatorship thirty years later. The Film centers the question of the presentation of the self and of autobiographical storytelling within the context of german and Argentinian history.
After the screening, the director of the film, Juliana Fischbein came together with Sabine Schlickers (U Bremen) and Linda Maeding (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) for a panel discussion (in german), moderated by Julia Borst (U Bremen).

Synopsis: Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel is the most translated writer from Equatorial Guinea but he had to flee the country in 2011, after going on a hunger strike against Teodoro Obiang’s dictatorship, the longest lasting in the world. Since then, he lives as a refugee in Spain, the former colonial power, where his work is largely ignored. He feels he has to travel back to his country despite of the risks, as he is one of the most prominent intellectuals against the regime. With him and his books we embark on a journey to one of the most isolated African countries.
With financial support by ForstA integriert.
