My Foreign Land

For the Suruí, an indigenous people in western Brazil, there was a lot at stake in the 2022 presidential elections. Under incumbent President Bolsonaro, logging and mining companies were given free rein in their territory. His opponent Lula, on the other hand, pledged to protect the Amazon and uphold Indigenous rights. Tribal leader Almir and his daughter, the young activist Txai Suruí, are each followed during their campaign in the final month before the elections. While Txai travels abroad to raise awareness about the destruction of the rainforest, Almir campaigns across the state of Rondônia, seeking support for his congressional bid.

Milton Nascimento "Tambores de Minas"

After appearing almost unrecognizable—significantly thinner—in the Christmas episode of Sai de Baixo, where he played Santa Claus, Milton faced criticism about his weight loss, which even sparked media rumors that he might have HIV. He decided to step away for a while and focus on creating his next work, Nascimento. To promote the album, he developed a tour with Gabriel Villela. With sets designed by Villela and Milton himself directing, the show symbolized the singer’s own rebirth. Dancers who also played percussion surrounded him onstage, performing around a giant drum at the center—an altar-like platform where Milton remained throughout the performance.

Salitre no more

For around fifteen years, I have been filming a forest of imburana de cambão trees that has been progressively disappearing, located on the border between the states of Bahia and Pernambuco. The visual saturation created through image overlaps and the division of the screen into three parts fosters the emergence of a particular rhythm, in which pulsating texts impose other forms of escape.The gradual disappearance of this forest echoes texts evoking the consequences of climate change, while also inscribing fire and logging as human acts contributing to this impoverishment.The basis of this film was the installation of the same name presented as part of an exhibition at the Frans Krajcberg Space in 2025. The film is denser. The imburanas de cambão burst into flames as the sertão turns into desert.

Brazilian Cinema in the 20th Century

Two years of research and visits to collections, cinematheques and museums; almost seventy interviews that generated 30 hours of recorded material; more than two hundred scanned photos and more than one hundred films watched. In total, more than a thousand hours of work were needed to prepare Brazilian Cinema in the 20th Century. The work is a fascinating journey through all the cinematic cycles that Brazil lived, from the pioneering Belle Époque, through the great studios like Atlântica and Cinédia, Cinema Novo, the urban comedies of the 70's, until the resumption in the late 90's. The documentary is unique, it gives the floor to who really wrote and lived this story intensely.
