Artist talk
Landless is a documentary by filmmaker Camila Freitas, who spent four years following an occupation of the Landless Workers’ Movement MST - Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra in Brazil. It is a film about resistance in a landscape in dispute, in which the MST plays a pivotal role, organising people impacted by urban poverty, precarious working conditions and rural displacement in an on-going struggle for the access to land and a self-sustainable life. Camila Freitas explains the collaboration with MST and her artistic approach to documenting Brazil’s largest social movement, also sharing excerpts of her film.
