Here in the desert sands, successive eras of mining and the unmarked graves left by the Pinochet regime at the birth of neoliberalism signal this landscape’s material intimacy with planetary histories of extraction and with a current moment of political crisis. Thinking these forms of colonial violence through atmospheres, minerals, and memories, the film gestures towards an “elemental sociality” and a new way of thinking and being.Please join us for a free screening of the film, open to the public. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A and a reception.This event is sponsored by UVA’s Digital Technology for Democracy Lab, along with the Page-Barbour Committee, and the Institute of the Humanities and Global Cultures. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/charlottesville/ancestral-clouds-ancestral-claims-a-film-screening-and-qanda/100001553203205599 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Charlottesville - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Irving Theater/Code Building - **lat**: 38.0308639 - **long**: -78.4837438 - **full address**: Irving Theater/Code Building, 225 West Water Street, Charlottesville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims: A Film Screening and Q&A - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/16867c999c6b3af91e53ec597b39650593fd8b7cd60bc04f5e721874eb6a909a-rimg-w1200-h675-dc131313-gmir.jpg?v=1759513925 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims: A Film Screening and Q&A being held? - **A:** Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims: A Film Screening and Q&A takes place on Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 pm at Irving Theater/Code Building, 225 West Water Street, Charlottesville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims: A Film Screening and Q&A? - **A:** Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims: A Film Screening and Q&A is organized by UVA's Digital Technology for Democracy (DTD) Lab. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
