Join us for the screening of Savanna and the Mountain (Paulo Carneiro, 2024, Portugal), a hybrid documentary that follows the villagers of Covas do Barroso, Portugal, as they creatively resist Savannah Resources, a British company planning a massive open-cast lithium mine in the region, through musical performances and Western-inspired staging.

Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an engaging Q&A session.

The screening is organised and facilitated by Salomé Lopes Coelho (EcoViolence ERC Project, Utrecht University) and is followed by a conversation with Aida Fernandes (Chair of the Covas do Barroso communal lands council and member of the United in Defense of Covas do Barroso anti-mining association) and Diana Vela Almeida (Utrecht University).

Part of the Moving [Images] Post-Extractivism programme, curated and organised by Salomé Lopes Coelho. Supported by EASLCE-European Association for the Study of Literature, Culture, and Environment (EASLCE), the ERC project Ecologies of Violence, the Network for Environmental Humanities, Utrecht University, and BAK Basecamp.
