Giovanni Venturini

Big Bang

In Uberlândia in Brazil, Chico earns his living by repairing ovens, in which he enters easily thanks to his small size. Faced with the contempt of a system that relegates him to the ranks of the marginalized, he gradually enters into resistance.

Acsexybility

Located at the intersection of disability and queerness, this documentary enriches, implicates, and breaks open the conversation around sexual life in the disabled community. This film does not shy away from the complexities and challenges of queer life, but rather embraces them and in doing so, illuminates how they impact one another and bring new dimensionality to the position of the body within them. Resisting a normative lens, this filmmaker uses the observational power of the camera to document the raw sexuality, fantasies, and erotic expressions of a wide array of subjects with rare candor and vulnerability. Embodied sexual explorations are balanced against interviews that in their frankness and insightfulness criticize and deepen the lacking conversation around this intersection in the wider discourse.

A Sogra Perfeita

Neide recently separated from her husband and wants to make the most of her single life. Hindered by her youngest son, she decides to set him up with one of her employees by hook or by crook

Os Três Reis

Maior que o Mundo

The Augusta Street Ripper

A vampire pretends to be a hooker on Augusta St., in São Paulo, to feed on her victims, until she comes across a monster that attacks at the same address.

Venice

Reencountering the only man she ever loved is Gringa’s dream. She is the owner of a brothel in the interior of Brazil and even though she is blind and very sick, she insists on fulfilling her last wish: to go to Venice to apologize to the lover she abandoned decades ago. To take her to the Italian city, Tonho, Rita and the other girls who work for Gringa come up with a fantastic plan with help from a circus troupe.

Above Justice

In this realistic and touching series told in an innovative format, seemingly independent plots intertwine to show how justice can sometimes be a personal matter.
