The Neighborhood is Ours!

Started in the 1980s, the successful heritage listing process that preserves the architectural history of the Bixiga neighborhood is constantly at risk, but continues to be defended by the community. When a construction on a subway line reveals material traces of the existence of the first urban quilombo recognized in the state's history, the Afro-descendant community and allies come together in an attempt to avoid yet another erasure of their history. The documentary is a portrait of the various popular resistance initiatives in one of the most diverse and culturally vibrant neighborhoods in the capital of São Paulo.

Black Future, Eu Sou o Rio

"Eu sou O Rio", debut album by the band Black Future, appeared on all lists of the best releases of the year it was released, in 1988. A critical success, the band presented a sound that mixed post-punk with "malandragem carioca", but almost no one heard it. To date, there has never been a reissue and is not even available on streaming services. With interviews carried out in celebration of the twenty years since the release of this obscure success, its former members and people close to them break down the history of the band and the album.

48°52'6S 123°23'6W - Experimental Version

A political film about the lack of connectivity between people, mainly due to the self-destructive speed of capitalism/liberalism/fascism. The short film is narrated in Morse code (ideally, you should study Morse code to watch it in a dark room for better immersion in the experience and greater discomfort followed by strangeness) with slogans against capitalism and bosses/billionaires. The choice of title is sexual, it dialogues with the main character (a man) who, with paid sex, has never been able to, nor has he bothered to find his partners' point of pleasure.

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.

I Believe

I Believe is a dance show that transports us to a magical and reflective universe, where fairies, mystical beings, guard nature and dedicate themselves to protecting the balance of life on Earth. These beings symbolize the purity and strength of the environment in perfect communion with the forests, rivers and mountains, maintaining the beauty and health of the planet. However, this harmony is threatened by the growing greed of human beings, who, blinded by power and the desire for wealth, exploit natural resources.
