Creating cultures of resistance
A pedestrian pictures film festival

Across different regions, the strongest expressions of resistance to equations of power and domination have been cultural expressions. Books, music, theatre, film – the forms of cultural resistances have been as varied as the politics and the people who shape these expressions.

The pedestrian pictures film festival, Creating cultures of resistance, is a showcase then of the diversity - of cultural expressions, of people, of politics. It is also a point of creation - as a 'film' festival on cultural resistances, it twins divergent forms of expression. Films that detail theatre, music and books as forms of cultural resistance while recognizing that films in themselves are forms of cultural resistance.
