REDEMPTON (AN EXPERIENCE IN THREE PARTS)
By Mariana Luiza | 3 mins, 10 mins, 16 mins | 2023 | Brazil
Is it possible to redeem a nation that once sought to exterminate the majority of its people?
In 1911, Brazil presented an audacious plan at the First Universal Congress of Races in London: to become a predominantly white nation within a century, exterminating Black and mestizo people within three generations, and transforming into a fully white country by 2012. The painting Ham’s Redemption (1895), by Modesto Brocos, exhibited during the congress, symbolized Brazil’s racial whitening ideology.
Over 110 years later, Redemption critically examines Brazil’s whitening policy, providing a counter-colonial response. The film, presented in three acts, revisits this history through archival imagery and symbolism, exposing the lasting impact of eugenicist ideologies. At its core, it challenges the narrative of Ham’s Redemption, replacing the imposed vision of racial erasure with one that honors ancestral knowledge and the resilience of Black and Indigenous communities.
HIJA DE FLORINDA (FLORINDA’S DAUGHTER)
By Shenny De Los Ángeles and Amanda Morell (iiritu) | 12 mins | 2025 | USA
Through a series of black-and-white tableaux, this poetry film follows the journey of Young Naomi in Everglades, Florida. She learns from Florinda, her grandmother, about the ancestral practices of caring for the land and nurturing grief in the face of environmental challenges. As the story unfolds, we grow to understand Florinda’s indigenous teachings of controlled burns and the importance of embracing fire rather than suppressing it. As the prescribed burns ignite from Florinda’s hands, an archival portal is birthed.
REDEMPTON (PART II)
By Mariana Luiza | 3 mins, 10 mins, 16 mins | 2023 | Brazil
LAS, FIYA (LAST, FIRE)
By Kat Anderson | 25 mins | 2024 | Jamaica, UK
Las, Fiya (Last, Fire) is a fictional short film that uses the horror genre to explore the subjects of ancestral trauma, dispossession, and the power of return/retrieval. Shot largely on an existing sugarcane farm in Jamaica, the film weaves historical methods of harvesting sugarcane and sugar production with the cinematic concept of the “origin story”. At the film’s center is Lil, a solo traveller, who is led by a spirit to a rural cane farm and reborn as a super-villain. A trans-dimensional evil entity preys upon a group of unsuspecting tourists, with their fate being revealed in a final heightened scene, where all are gathered on the cane farm for “reaping time.”
REDEMPTON (PART III)

SUGAR ISLAND
2025-06-01 12:00 | Koubek Center, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
By: Johanné Gómez Terrero

Country: Dominican Republic, Canary Islands
Language: Spanish w/English Subs
Duration: 90 mins
Year: 2024
Genre: Fiction

SYNOPSIS

Makenya leaves behind fun and dancing with her friends in search for work, after an unwanted pregnancy confronts her with sudden adulthood. The teenager lives alongside her grandfather and mother in the Batey, a Dominican-Haitian community of sugarcane workers. The mother is a servant of the Mysteries within the 21 divisions of Afro-Dominican spirituality, and the grandfather is an activist for pension rights. The mechanization of the sugar industry threatens to displace them without compensation. Meanwhile, in a parallel and Afro-futuristic dimension, Makenya reunites with her friends. In a theatrical exercise, they read documents from the colonial era, recall the black uprisings on the island, and recover ancestral knowledge that forms a sort of anti-racist and decolonial manifesto.

A Q+A with Johanné Gómez Terrero will follow the screening.

RECKONING AND REPAIR: REPRESENTING TRAUMA AND (POST)COLONIAL VIOLENCE
2025-06-01 14:15 | Koubek Center, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
How can cinema serve as an act of healing, and/or reckon with the consequences of violence? This panel explores the ways filmmakers engage with the long-term psychological effects of colonialism, state violence, and personal loss. Rather than focusing on direct representations of violence, films like Kouté vwa, True Chronicle of the Blida Joinville Psychiatric Hospital in the Last Century, and Twice into Oblivion center on the aftermath—the lingering trauma, the institutional responses (or lack thereof), and the individual and communal processes of healing.
From the genocidal killing of Haitians in the Dominican Republic in 1937 to Frantz Fanon’s psychiatric work in colonial Algeria to a mother’s grief in French Guiana today, these films meditate on violence and trauma within particular (post) colonial contexts. They also raise ethical questions: How do filmmakers depict trauma without re-traumatizing their audiences or their subjects? What does it mean to tell stories of pain while leaving space for catharsis, resistance, or repair? This conversation will examine the role of cinema in confronting historical violence while fostering new possibilities for healing.

SHORTS BLOCK: DEPOSITED IN THIS LAND OF STRANGERS
2025-06-01 17:15 | Koubek Center, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Employing a variety of cinematic forms and strategies, the five films in this programme engender lingering, often poetic diasporic dialogues—between here and there, then and now.

BISAGRAS
By Luis Arias | 16 mins | 2024 | Senegal, Brazil, USA
“Bisagras” is a film exploring the enduring here and elsewhere of black consciousness. Finding a connection through the film’s emulsion and my skin, Bisagras holds my experience as a person of Afro-Caribbean descent during a visit to the House of Slaves in Gorée Island, Senegal and the port of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. In these places I dare to imagine my ancestors’ history of the journey of African slaves to America and draw a line that goes through me.” – Luis Arnías
WE DEH HERE
By Maybelle Peters | 7 mins | 2025 | UK
We Deh Here traces the relationship between Scotland and Guyana through photography, sewing, genealogical research, and matrilineal lines. Combining stills of historical sites in Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands with audio conversations between the artist and her mother, the film investigates and speculates on their interconnection as an expression of British and Scottish colonialism.
BLUE HEART
By Samuel Suffren | 15 mins | 2025 | Haiti
Marianne and Pétion live in Haiti and wait impatiently for a call from their son in the USA. As silence sets in, their fears and worries grow, revealing the fractures in their own lives. The promise of the American dream now seems to elude them, as the line between hope and reality becomes increasingly blurred.
YOULOGY/NO GHOSTS
By Darryl Daley | 8 mins | 2023 | UK
Youlogy / No Ghosts explores cyclical motifs of arrival and departure through the artist’s grandmother’s migration to the United Kingdom and her posthumous return to Jamaica, creating a transcendental frame where memory and time merge. In this speculative space, the film navigates beyond the confines of mortality, reimagining a future where inherited stories resist linearity.
A RIVER HOLDS A PERFECT MEMORY
By Hope Strickland | 17 mins | 2024 | Jamaica, UK
“The original premise of a river holds a perfect memory was based on a series of labor protests in January 2016, St Elizabeth, Jamaica that highlighted the complex, racio-colonial capitalist logics that continue to shape the use of Black River. Rivers fascinate me for myriad reasons: they hold within them the poetics of collapsed time and diasporic memory, alongside complex flows of resource and labor extraction. Spending time researching reservoirs and industry in the North of England and rivers with my extended family in Jamaica, the more these worlds seemed to swirl and eddy together.” – Hope Strickland

WEST INDIES: THE FUGITIVE SLAVES OF LIBERTY
2025-06-01 19:30 | Koubek Center, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
By Med Hondo | 116 mins | 1979 | Mauritania, Algeria, France
Mauritanian French director Med Hondo’s West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty, presented at THFF25 in a new restoration, proved a watershed event for African cinema—the continent’s first musical as well as a sui generis amalgam of historical epic, Broadway revue, Brechtian theater, and joyous agitprop. Using an enormous mock slave ship as the film’s only soundstage, Hondo mounts intricately choreographed reenactments and dance numbers across his multipurpose set to investigate more than three centuries of imperialist oppression. The story traverses the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and the Middle Passage; jumps across time to depict the effects of official French policy upon the colonized, the enslaved, and their descendants; and surveys the actions and motivations of the resigned, the revolutionary, and the powers that be (along with their lackeys). No mere extravaganza, West Indies is a call to arms for a spectacular yet critical cinematic reimagining of an entire people’s history of resistance and struggle.

La Feria del Libro de Miami del Miami Dade College, el Consulado de la República Argentina en Miami y la Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española invitan a la proyección del filme De navíos, ron y chocolate, con la presencia de la directora venezolana Malena Roncayolo y la escritora Elisa Arraiz.
A partir de finales del siglo XVIII, inmigrantes italianos y franceses, principalmente corsos, comenzaron a establecerse en Venezuela, siendo Carúpano su primer asentamiento. Estas oleadas migratorias se extendieron por el oriente del país, el estado Bolívar, el Zulia y algunas zonas andinas, dedicándose principalmente a la agroindustria del cacao, el café y la caña de azúcar, y más tarde, a la extracción de oro. Los corsos realizaron valiosos aportes al desarrollo de las ciudades y puertos, y sus descendientes han destacado en la cultura, la ciencia, la economía, la política y la diplomacia venezolana. Este documental explora las regiones de Venezuela donde se asentaron, así como sus lugares de origen en Córcega y Marsella, revelando las semejanzas culturales y el mestizaje entre ambos pueblos.

After signing with Sony Music France, her second album, Trasnochando, earned national airplay on France Inter, while her song “C’est toi que j’aime” found success in U.S. TV shows like Franklin and Bash and Whiskey Cavalier through a collaboration with Invasion Group.
Now based in Miami, Niuver recently toured with Guatemalan superstar Ricardo Arjona and is presenting her third album, Vivir, produced by Latin Grammy winner Yadam González: A rich blend of guajira son, French chanson, jazz, and bossa nova.
