From June 7-10, 2018, Rio de Janeiro played host to Virada Sustent\u00e1vel<\/a>\u00a0(Sustainable Turn), a festival organized across various Brazilian cities by a movement of people, groups, and public and private institutions that share a common interest in sustainability. The activities were spread across the city and included events in a number of favelas such as Cantagalo<\/a> and Mar\u00e9<\/a>, the latter of which held an exhibition featuring photographers from Mar\u00e9 and Alem\u00e3o<\/a> and workshops aimed at women<\/a> on themes ranging from self-care to composting. The activities scheduled to take place in Babil\u00f4nia in partnership with the project Revolusolar<\/a> did not happen due to clashes between police and drug traffickers in the region, culminating in the execution of seven traffickers whose bodies were thrown into the sea and appeared two days later on a beach in Urca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Favela Hub<\/a>, a social innovation space in the Pav\u00e3o-Pav\u00e3ozinho<\/a> and Cantagalo favela complex (PPG), hosted the Silvio Tendler<\/a> cinema club on June 9. The cinema club was named after a documentary director who tackles political themes such as privatization and dictatorship, and whose film,\u00a0Finger on the Wound<\/a>\u2014<\/em>portraying the life of regular citizens in the midst of an economic crisis that benefits the powerful\u2014is currently in theaters. The cinema club, launched in March of this year, aims to show independent films produced in diverse places as a way to expand the community’s cultural horizons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is to bring quality audiovisual material into the favela,\u201d said Josy Oliveira<\/a>, a resident of the community for 13 years and one of the cinema club organizers. There are two monthly sessions in different locations with one of the two aimed at children and youth who, as it happens, dominated this particular joint cinema club session. \u201cWe don\u2019t even need a physical space. Having a big screen, the equipment and having an audience, we can do it anywhere in the community, in any alley,” Oliveira added.<\/p>\n
