Sementes: Mulheres Pretas no Poder
Cinematography
In response to Marielle Franco's execution, the 2018 elections turned into the biggest political upheaval led by black women that Brazil has ever seen, with candidacies in all states. In Rio de Janeiro, Mônica Francisco, Rose Cipriano, Renata Souza, Jaqueline de Jesus, Tainá de Paula and Talíria Petrone applied for the positions of state or federal deputy. The documentary accompanied these women in their campaigns, showing that a new way of doing politics in Brazil is possible, transforming mourning into struggle.
No rastro das cargueiras
Director
bibi crosses the city balancing piles of metal and plastic on top of his load. these cargo bikes adapted by him and other scavengers from ceará turn brasília’s “rich garbage” into an opportunity for popular, autonomous and clean recycling, trying to pave the way for a better life in the brazilian capital. “no rastro das cargueiras” presents the techniques, landscapes and stories of a group of waste pickers-cyclists in the counterflow of urban consumption and in the struggle for the right to the city.
Sin Tierra
Director of Photography
Durante un período de cuatro años, Camila Freitas grabó las vidas de un grupo de trabajadores sin tierra en el estado brasileño de Goiás. Desde 2015, los trabajadores han ocupado una parte del sitio de una fábrica y han exigido una reforma agraria. Chão proporciona información sobre la rutina diaria del grupo, que se divide entre labrar la tierra, el activismo político y hablar de cómo podría ser un futuro mejor.
