Dry Wind

NR 2020 · 110 min · ★ 6.4 · Drama, Fantasy

The area around Catalan in Brazil’s state of Goiás is dry, very dry. Sandro’s life here is somewhat monotonous. He works in a fertiliser factory, goes swimming and spends his evenings doing jigsaw puzzles of landscapes. When Maicon, a man straight out of a Tom of Finland illustration, shows up in their small town and flirts with Ricardo, Sandro’s burgeoning feelings of jealousy set a change in motion.

Until The Light Comes Back

In a country where theocratic and inquisitive rituals of the collective unconscious serve the sacrifice of trans lives, “Until The Light Comes Back” is a ritual film that asserts the power of its protagonist over death as a mobilizing force, an enchantment spell and a rite of contradictions. This is because this is a film that understands contradiction as a core element in film characters and narratives to produce, like magic, other dimensions of reception.
