O Quadrado de Joana
Tiago Mata Machado
Renata Otto, Eid Ribeiro
Slowly we recognize traces of a couple's history. Joana, living isolated in an apartment between books and mysteries searching for an "ideal world" and Jota living on the streets searching for a confrontation with the real and trying to give back the final word to the "other"..

Curra Urbana
Tiago Mata Machado
Guará Rodrigues, Ésio Magalhães
At same time as it dives into excess and violence of Brazilian reality, Curra Urbana tri to insert itself in anti ilusionist modern aesthetic reinstarting a dialogue from Jean Luc Godard and some of later Brazilian apropriators especially those of Cinema Marginal.

O Século
Tiago Mata Machado, Cinthia Marcelle
The Century (O Século) is both the documentary of a performance and the documentary of an allegory. Without a human figure in view, scraps, debris, and junk are thrown dramatically from one side of an alley to the other, and then a volley begins from the other side.
The Century
Rua de Mão Única
Tiago Mata Machado, Cinthia Marcelle
The destructive character sees nothing permanent. But for this very reason he sees ways everywhere. Where others encounter walls or mountains, there, too, he sees a way. But because he sees a way everywhere, he has to clear things from it everywhere. Not always by brute force; sometimes by the most refined. Because he sees ways everywhere, he always stands at a crossroads. No moment can know what the next will bring. What exists he reduces to rubble – not for the sake of rubble, but for that of the way leading through it.
