DESCRIPTION:Tonight we will screen the film "City of  Favelas"  – favela politics and 
 alternatives to exclusion”\n\nAll across Brazilian cities irregular 
 buildings sprawl, piling up like honeycombs. Favelas and dilapidated houses 
 are a focal point of urban poverty. Departing from a reflection on these 
 precarious places, this film tries to track a different kind of 
 urbanization and takes the viewers into the life of their inhabitants. The 
 film accompanies urban protagonists in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and 
 documents political, economic and cultural alternatives to social 
 exclusion..\n\nFavelas can be thought of as a materialization of the social 
 exclusion that affects their inhabitants. Though crowded with people, 
 lacking infrastructure, and manifesting cultural and economical 
 discrimination, favelas are nevertheless places of solidarity and 
 laboratories of political, economic and cultural alternatives. This 
 documentary explores the practices of empowerment developed by various 
 institutions in their struggle for a better life and interrelates issues 
 such as community development, education, social history,\nfavela culture 
 and ”economia solidaria”.\n\nAfter the talk, the film’s presenters 
 will give an talk on radical politics and poor poeples movements in Brasi, 
 as well the squatter movement, (MTST)\n
