Film

Suíços Brasileiros, Uma História Esquecida (2013)

Schweizerische Brasilianer - eine vergessene Geschichte (2013)

13.2.2022 | 14:00accessibility.time_to15:00

Während mehr als 160 Jahren war das Schicksal der Schweizer Auswanderer in der Kolonie Dona Francisca im Süden von Brasilien in Vergessenheit geraten.
Viele ihrer heutigen Nachkommen dachten bis vor kurzem, dass sie von Deutschen abstammen. Auch in der Schweiz weiss man nichts mehr über diese Vorfahren, die aus Armut nach Brasilien auswandern mussten.

Gedreht in den zwei Ländern mit einer internationalen Besetzung, erzählt der Film in einer Mischung aus Dokumentar- und Spielfilm vom Schicksal dieser mutigen Familien.

Ein Film von Calixto Hakim. Dauer: 52 Minuten

Der Film läuft in Originalfassung (deutsch und portugiesisch) mit deutschen Untertitel.

Der Zutritt zum Film ist im Museumseintritt inbegriffen.
Freie Platzwahl (60 Plätze).

National Museum Zurich | Auditorium Pixel

The exhibition

Well into the 20th century, Switzerland was a country of emigration. Just a few generations ago, economic hardship was driving thousands of Swiss to emigrate to places like France, Brazil and the USA. The exhibition ‘Leaving Switzerland’ tells the dramatic stories of women, men and families who left here to try their luck in far-off lands. But even today, emigration is still a topical issue. Around 800,000 Swiss citizens currently live abroad. They’re often referred to as the ‘Fifth Switzerland’ and they also have their part in the exhibition.
