Youths
ICA
The Instituto Cervantes in London is collaborating with the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London with its Youth Film Festival, presenting the film "Deprisa, Deprisa" (Hurry, Hurry), along with 14 other films. The aim is to explore and observe the ways in which young adults navigate, question, or disrupt reality through the formation of groups and communities.
The selection of feature fiction films and documentaries spans various eras and locations; from punk gangs in Mexico in the 1980s to a contemporary film club in Ibadan, Nigeria, passing through Morocco, Korea, Brazil, China and Japan. The programme aims to highlight the diversity of cinematic forms and modes of representation. From one film to another, the programme reflects on the value of the group as a refuge, as an autonomous structure within tense and oppressive social or political contexts, allowing for the formation and affirmation of identity.
In a kaleidoscopic way, Youths is structured as a fragmented testimony of young people who, over time and across geographies, have constantly sought ways to exist on their own terms, to make their voices heard, and to shape a world in their image.
