Eduardo Cantarino

It's carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Saulo is a gay werewolf who visits the enchanted lands of beauty and chaos in search of new prey. It's on the last night of the carnival festivities that he meets Gustavo, a new crush who could be his last prey. “Carne Fresca” is a carnival fable about werewolves and hunters in a marvelous city.

The lives of Luhli and Lucina, two especially important artists in the alternative cultural scene during the 1970s.

There is a house by the river. In this house, a woman. Her eyes carry a sadness. In her solitude, the river becomes her main companion, her confidant, and finally her lover.

ABYSSAL FISH is a creative film in the border between fiction, real and performance through the artistic work of Luís Capucho.

An homage to master Eduardo Coutinho, a Brazilian documentary filmmaker who recorded several interviews in the famous Master Building 20 years ago. Paz Encina searches for traces of Coutinho's still strong presence in the setting/object of his feature film, sewing an affectionate letter from the encounter with this space — and its current residents — and dialoguing with the voids, ghosts and memories of a film and a place.

Violeta is a married dentist on a normal working day. While listening to a message left on the cell she enters in despair. The message of her husband, Djalma, says he is leaving her and going to another city.

It’s Carnival in Rio. A young man wanders through the streets of the city and the remains of the huge cardboard parade floats. Driven by grief over the bankruptcy of his samba school, he’s also haunted by memories of his dead father and a lost love. An impressive cinematic experiment composed of fragments of the present and the past, developed as part cinema, part art installation in the tropical setting of Rio.
