Betania
Brazil, 2024
Written and directed by Marcelo Botta
This remarkable debut film is set in the north-east of Brazil, in a breathtaking scenery defined by endless sand dunes, and features mostly non-professional actors. The protagonist, Betania, has to move away from her community upon the death of her husband - and this disruption brings up all flavors of conflict, from the intra-familial struggles to the global issues of overtourism and ecological sustainability.

Come visit Madame Prospère’s bar “Der Grüne Kakadu” in Paris anno 1789. Specializing in offering guests a glimpse into what revolutionary Paris might look and feel like, Madame Prospère has assembled a talented group of actors who pose as bandits, thieves, and revolutionaries to provide visiting aristocrats with the pleasant “thrill” that the possibility of their demise instills. But as events in Paris take a serious turn on July 14th, 1789, the boundaries between performance and reality, between history and performance, and between the private and the political begin to blur.
