A Mãe de Todas as Lutas
Director
A narrative that uses memory to envision a future of change from a female perspective. The film follows the trajectory of Shirley Krenak and Maria Zelzuita, women who are at the forefront of the struggle for land in Brazil. Shirley brings the mission of honoring the women and wisdom of the Krenak warriors, from the region of Minas Gerais. Maria Zelzuita is one of the survivors of the Eldorado dos Carajás Massacre, in Pará, and her trajectories connect us to the concept of violence and the appropriation of the female body.
Nice to Meet You
Director
A documentary that looks over the contemporary LGBTQIA+ sexuality. The recent arrival in Brazil of two new forms of prevention – PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) and PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis), drugs that promise greater efficacy against HIV/Aids transmission and contagion – enable an intense exercise of sexual practices, bringing new forms of care beyond the use of condoms. Through an intimate and observational record, the film strips of all moral judgement to dive into the user’s daily lives of PrEP, bringing up reflections about desire, sex and protection.

Director
"Levante" won Canal Futura's annual documentary competition in 2014 and was filmed in Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Gaza and Hong Kong. It first aired at 22pm on the 25th June on Canal Futura. The film is about inspiring people around the world who use technology to speak out against injustice such as Filipe Peçanha from Midia Ninja who used the Japanese Twitcasting app to broadcast the Brazilian protests of 2013 from his smartphone, Noor Harazeen from Palestine who created the first English-speaking youtube news channel in Gaza, and Howard Kong from the Apple Daily newspaper in Hong Kong who used a drone to film the conflicts between police and protesters in 2014.
Porque Temos Esperança
Director
The journey of a woman from Pernambuco and her rejection to everything that seems to have no way. Living deep dilemmas in personal life and trying to rebuild other lives, she begins a journey through the prisons of Recife, in the intention that parents recognize their children. Experiencing solitude in his own skin, Marli shows us that affection can be redemptive and that lack of hope is the most intolerable evil for the human being.
