Ela and Hilmi with Ali
Editor
Veteran math teacher Hilmi is preparing the earthquake survivor Ela for her college applications and is mentoring Ali, the doorman's son, who flunked for the second time at school. As they seek refuge from loneliness in each other, they slowly find themselves in an uncanny triangle, where all boundaries dissolve.
Abominável
Editor
In the film adaptation of the show “Abominável”, created from texts by different dead authors, a body crossed by war and passion breaks free from a violin case.
Exu Yangí
Director
A private meeting with the Afro-Brazilian deity Eshu is symbolised through visual abstractions of home images, readings on the subject, memories of a carnival and reflections associated with quantum physics. Entirely produced in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.
Breakwater
Editor
A group of friends from São Paulo head for a secluded beach to celebrate New Year’s. Together they relax, sunbathe and make music. And they talk: about their sexuality, their bodies, their hair, their youth, their fears, certainties and uncertainties, as anyone does sometimes with good friends. Along the way, we learn a lot about contemporary Brazil.
A Plebe É Rude
Editor
The trajectory of the Brazilian punk band Plebe Rude is told in an acid and good-humored tone. Through internal dialogues, the members and contemporary characters of the phonographic industry expose differences, exorcise hurts and analyze how changes in the Brazilian scenario in recent years. The group draws a musical panorama from the events of the 70s and 80s, the group's most successful period alongside the biggest names in national rock.
Tuesday
Editor
At first glance, a film about an ordinary school day for a teenage girl in Istanbul. But as Tuesday details three encounters she has while going to school, playing basketball, and taking a bus home, it becomes an observational exposé of men who believe they are entitled to an unquestioned authority over a woman's personal space.
