Masculinidades Plásticas

Akin, a young Black transmasculine journalist from the countryside of Bahia, dives into a research project to understand the city's perception of trans people. His journey is not only professional but also deeply personal: he seeks to discover which masculinities have shaped him. Along the way, Akin is transported to a parallel universe, where he meets four oracles who read the fate of the world. They reveal that the patriarchal system of masculinity is broken and on the verge of collapse, dismantling everything once believed about what it means to be a man.

Feiura Comovente

An experimental film-poetry that follows Anjo, a person nearing 30, still bound to their mother. Their encounter with a mysterious masked figure becomes a projection of Anjo’s pain and desire. Through ritualistic acts and symbolic sacrifices, the film explores faith, scars, and the beauty of what cannot be saved. Performed entirely by trans actors, it blurs the line between body, theater, and cinema, creating a liminal space where suffering, desire, and transformation intertwine.

Ineffable

Before time, before the world, there were only two—one made of fire, the other of ice. Lost in the void, they were never meant to meet, until the wind, in its fury, brought them together for an instant. In the clash of light and shadow, an impossible love was born—one as burning as it was destructive. But the universe does not forgive those who defy its order, condemning them to spin forever, always close, never together. Yet, in rare moments, when fate falls asleep, Sun and Moon touch—and the sky, in reverence, darkens to watch.

Negros Laços

In Negros Laços, an ancestral narrator revisits her memories to bring to light the trajectories of three Black families who lived in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil, between the 19th and 20th centuries. Combining the accounts of their descendants with deep historical research, the film exposes the struggles for freedom, dignity, and belonging, while confronting the celebration of slaveholders in that city against the erasure of Black histories. It ultimately reveals the black ties that forged different ways of existing in the Black Atlantic. The film follows the trajectories of José and Innocência, Anna and Mathilde, bringing forth their names, their faces, their legacies, their ancestral roots, and their descendants.

Verbo Ser

Set in the Cariri region of Ceará, in Northeastern Brazil, the film follows feminist activists who, through personal accounts and stories of resistance, reveal the urgent struggle against femicide and the pervasive effects of patriarchy on women’s lives. Against the backdrop of the Araripe Plateau, these women share decades of activism, reflecting on how female subjects resist the patriarchal modus operandi that violates their bodies and existence within a rural, developing Latin American context.

Favela Government

Brazil's "Red Command" drug cartel is considered a plague by the government. But for the people of the favelas they control, Red Command *is* the government. They’re the de facto leadership of the area. The gang has taken over the role of the authorities in their shanty towns, where the state has long abandoned them. Away Days got special access to the Rio favelas, hanging out out with young foot-soldiers, speaking to commanders, and seeing how civilians live between the gangs and the equally violent police militias.
