Alice, who lives in a small isolated house in the countryside, receives an unwelcome visit from a young influencer.

Thirteen
Brazil, 13', Well Darwin and Francisco Gaspar
After 58 walks out of 13’s room, the score is far from settled. Now, 13 and 55 are left to have the final, brutal conversation—one meant to wound, to cut deep, to bury the past in a grave of unforgivable truths. With undeniable proof of 58’s crime now exposed across the networks, there’s nothing left to argue. No escape. No redemption.

CANDEIAS, a being of our time
Brazil, 18', Well Darwin
Ozualdo Candeias was a gruff truck driver. He never lost the verve of that strange form of freedom, confined to the cab yet facing the countless itineraries of the world. Among the many trades he pursued was that of a boca do lixo filmmaker, in a time when making films required both courage and friends. He had both in abundance.
His complexity can now be revisited through a process of visual and sound collages, guided by a frank and reflective conversation recorded at the end of 1997—about the cinema of yesterday, but also about the cinema of today.

A Screen in the village
Brazil, 10', Sérgio Gag
The traumatic encounter between the Panará people and the white man is the theme of the feature film Kati Ranpari Kin, shot between 2023 and 2024 in the village of Nasepotiti, in southern Pará. With the film completed, we had to hold the first screening with the Panará themselves — but how to bring cinema to the Indigenous Territory?
What was the impact on the youth when they saw their history and ancestry represented on the big screen?
What is the meaning of showing the incredible story of this people in the very cities that were built over their ancient villages?

Eppur Si Mouve
Brasil, 6', Well Darwin
Movement is inherent to humanity. Even when stationary, we are moving in the cosmos or on an escalator. Even when alienated by the crushing urban routine, we are in a state of constant evolutionary motion. While the static structures of the city reinforce a sense of immobility, the human being, as a chaotic and unpredictable element, constantly redefines the array of paths to choose from. Even when still, we move.
