Bulíço Mulíebre

Childhood memories of the author's life using images of dance performances with music from a genre she discovered in her adolescence. Both marked her formative years in different ways. By replacing the original sound with the music she began listening to in her adolescence and which had a great influence on the construction of her personal identity, the author seeks to transform the memory of traumatic times of rivalry and body shaming between girls, which in some way affects her to this day.

Cultura Ballroom: A Arte da Resistência

In the film, the ballroom movement is portrayed, highlighting the importance of the so-called houses — ballroom communities that welcome LGBTQ+ people in situations of social vulnerability, especially Black people, trans people, and travestis — and offer them a new perspective on life within this cultural context. These houses provide a space of freedom to be yourself, to compete for prizes, and, most importantly, to show how brightly you can shine on the dance floor.
