Milo Rau - Activism and Intimacy
Description
Milo Rau presents a film series: Orestes in Mosul: the Making of; The Congo Tribunal; Familie; The New Gospel.
THE NEW GOSPEL: Who would Jesus fight for today – and who would be fighting at his side?
In Italy, at the southern edge of the European Union, where African refugees are forced into labor as harvesters, where peasants are fighting for survival due to increasing grain imports, Milo Rau creates – a hybrid film dealing with the life and death of probably the most influential religious founder in world history. Who are the displaced people, the outcasts, the humiliated ones of today’s world order? What is left of Jesus’ message of salvation in times of global exploitation?
In The New Gospel, Milo Rau and the political activist Yvan Sagnet create together a biblical narrative that couldn’t be more topical, considering the refugee crisis in Europe and the worldwide Black Lives Matter movement. Political activist and Jesus performer Yvan Sagnet himself worked in a tomato farm when, in 2011, he revolted against the system of exploitation and led the first farm workers’ strike in Southern Italy. Just like Jesus sought his group of apostles as a “fisher of men”, Yvan returns to the largest of the refugee camps, currently called “ghettos” in Italy. Among the refugees and migrants stranded in the barren landscape and those who hire themselves out on the tomato and orange plantations, Yvan finds his “disciples”
