7 Haircuts in Congo

One hair salon. Seven haircuts. Seven experiences of exile. The documentary stars the owner of the salon, Fernando “Pablo” Mupapa, as he unfolds from the haircut ritual to open himself up to the voices and reports of immigrants from the Democratic Republic of Congo living in Brazil. Through a connection with Africa, the dialogues between Pablo and his clients recorded by the filmmakers reveal assertions of identity and the dream of an anti-imperialist revolution.

O Orvalho e o Rio

A year after the end of his relationship, Marcelo returns to the place where he lived part of that relation. It is winter, the house is in a clearing. The grass is high and the garden is abandoned. Inside the house there are several boxes scattered around the room, old things in the corners. In the kitchen the fire burns gently on the iron stove. Near the house runs a river, where Marcelo takes refuge from the confusion of memories that accompanies him. The encounter with the past is the necessary fuse to move forward.

Stepping Softly on the Earth

In the documentary "Pisar Suavemente na Terra," three Indigenous leaders from the Amazon try to keep their ways of being in the world alive. This is the story of Kátia, chief of the Akrãtikatêjê people, of Manuel, chief of the Munduruku people and of José Manuyama, a teacher of Kokama origin. The three narrate the threats to their territories promoted by large-scale mining, monoculture, oil extraction, logging and the construction of hydroelectric plants. Interconnected by the voice and ancestral thoughts of Ailton Krenak, these accounts of resistance present us with other ways of existing and walking in the world.

Tainá e a Chuva

The indigenous girl Tainá, the king vulture Pepe, the monkey Catu and the hedgehog Suri are the Guardians of the Amazon. But today it is raining and the animals are all collected. Including them, who are sheltered under a large leaf. Suri, however, is not very happy. She is terrified of rain and says that once she almost got hurt in a storm. One by one, the Guardians tell their stories about the rain. For Catu, rain is very powerful because it can transform simple monkeys into superheroes! For Tainá, the origin of rain goes back to an ancient indigenous legend. Pepe, on the other hand, uses scientific arguments to convince Suri that there is no reason to be afraid of the rain.
