British Council has revealed the film line-up for the 5th season of #FiveFilms4Freedom, the world’s widest-reaching LGBTQ+ digital campaign.The project, a partnership between the British Council and BFI Flare: London LGBTQ+ Film Festival, will see five short films from the BFI Flare programme made available to Indian and global audiences through the British Council’s global digital platforms, free of charge.
Running since 2015, the programme has seen more than 10 million people viewing one of the films in more than 200 countries. The latest season, therefore,holds even greater significance as it is part of Anyone//Anywhere: the web at 30, British Council’s global campaign acknowledging and celebrating the impact of the world wide web on every aspect of our lives over the past 30 years.
This year’s #FiveFilms4Freedom collection presents a range of compelling and thought-provoking stories, including one made under the guidance of legendary filmmaker, Werner Herzog. In the visually mesmerisingCarlito se va para siempre, a man is forced to choose between his lover and his community in rural Peru. Director, Quentin Lazzarotto, made the short after Herzog challenged a group of emerging filmmakers to produce a film in the heart of the Amazonian jungle.
