Marianna Brennand

Manas

Thirteen-year-old Marcielle lives on Marajó Island in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. To break a terrible cycle that imprisons the women around her in an isolated region, she must do the impossible to liberate herself and her younger sister from a dark abyss of silence held by her own family.

Francisco Brennand

Francisco Brennand is an eighty-five year odl, painter, sculptor and ceramist from Brazil. He lives and works isolated in an open-air museum set in an old ceramic roofing tile factory that belonged to his father. Based on his diaries, written over the past 60 years, the film narrates the artist's journey from the moment he moved into the factory until today.

Nação Mulambo

A suburban neighborhood in Recife (Peixinhos) shows that freedom has a past, present, and future.

Danado de Bom

Born in Arcoverde, in the backlands of Pernambuco, the lonely boy who was raised by his father after his mother left, João Silva soon discovered a passion for the northeastern rhythms, such as the baião, xote and forró. He went to Rio de Janeiro when he was still a little boy to meet the idol Luiz Gonzaga. Both men, who were not very fond of each other when they first met, became not only great friends but also partners in many hits like “Doutor do Baião”, “Nem se Despediu de Mim” and “Pagode Russo”.

O Coco, a Roda, o Pnêu e o Farol

A documentary about the "roda de coco" in Amaro Branco, place where for more than 100 years its people maintain the tradition of this contagious rhythm of the Brazilian northeast. The film shows the characters, the tradition and the wealth of this northeastern dance. More than that, it invites you to the middle of the "roda de coco".
