The screening and the subsequent artist talk bring together two film works that explore marginalized histories through embodied practice, archival gaps, and speculative narration. Violett (2022/2023) by Laura Nitsch traces connections between poverty, queerness, and public space, drawing on cruising to weave observations, memories, and gestures that reflect resilience and resistance beyond official archives.

Stefania Smolkina’s Avec la 4e Division Marocaine de Montagne (2024) revisits the overlooked history of Moroccan soldiers who fought against Nazism within the French Allies.
