Online Film Carretera Cartonera April 15 -April 29

This film festival celebrates the diverse types of assemblages that can be established between different actors. These assemblages are not mere representations of the world but are productive, generating new territorial organizations, behaviors, expressions, actors, and realities. They are also heterogeneous, encompassing various elements such as humans, animals, things, and ideas. This socio-material perspective breaks down the traditional division between nature and culture. We invite you to watch these movies and consider how we can relate to all that surrounds us and how we are a part of it. Can we think about our new realities in this way? How can this perspective help us better understand the world around us? We invite you to watch these films selected for this festival and consider these questions. The movies chosen for this film festival can be watched online.


It is free and open to the public. Please complete the online registration to receive the link and the password.


The movies will be open for two weeks, from Monday, April 15 (6:00 am ET) to Monday, April 29 (11:59 pm ET); you can watch:

Carretera Cartonera: Discover the World of Cartonera Publishing 
Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay. 2016. 37 min. 
Director: Marta Mancusi, Anna Trento. 

"Carretera Cartonera: Discover the World of Cartonera Publishers chronicles the road trip of the filmmakers as they travel across Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile) to understand Cartonera book production. What they find is a diverse and vast array of citizens and cooperatives committed to using literary production as a means of fighting for social justice, economic equality, and a more sustainable world.” (Source:  PRAGDA Website)
