Cinema in 7 Colors traces an historical panorama of how the queer people were portrayed in the Brazilian silver screens, from its origin in the chanchadas of the 1950s up to the present day.

Encantado: Le Brésil Désenchanté
Filipe Galvon
Dilma Rousseff, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
Considered for a few years the “country of the future”, Brazil has seen since 2013 a deep disenchantment between the middle and popular classes that culminated with the rise of Jair Bolsonaro to the Presidency in 2018. Enchanted portrays this recent Brazilian history from a homonymous neighborhood of the Rio suburb transfigured by the 2016 Olympics. From Rio to Paris, a political and poetic testimony of Brazil through the eyes of the first generation of the popular class to study abroad.

O Riso Dos Outros
Pedro Arantes
Danilo Gentili, Laerte Coutinho
There are limits to jokes? What is the politically incorrect humor? A joke has the power to offend? It is these issues that 'Laughter of Others' discusses interviewing personalities such as comedians Danilo Gentili and Rafinha Bastos, cartoonist Laerte and Congressman Jean Wyllys, among others. The documentary delves into the world of Stand Up Comedy to discuss the fine line between comedy and offense, between legal and what creates endless lawsuits.

O Processo
Maria Augusta Ramos
Dilma Rousseff, Gleisi Hoffmann
The impeachment and removal from office of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in 2016 was triggered by a corruption scandal involving, among others, her then vice-president Michel Temer. Director Maria Augusta Ramos follows the trial against Rousseff from the point of view of her defence team. This is a courtroom drama that unfolds slowly: the appearances of the various parties gradually turn the proceedings into something akin to theatre. Inside the courtroom, grand emotions are played to full effect whilst, on the other side of the doors, lobbyists and supporters pace the corridors. Meanwhile, outside, in front of Brasília’s modernist government buildings, demonstrators are chanting like a Greek chorus. Only the main character, Rousseff herself, remains professional and aloof.
The Trial
Favela Gay
Rodrigo Felha
Jean Wyllys
Favela Gay tells the story of eleven individuals in their own words. Living in eight slums (favelas) in Rio de Janeiro, these members of the LGBTQ community – two transgender women, a crossdressing man, a travesti prostitute, a famous carnival dancer, two community activists, and even a young man who used to be transgender, but transitioned back – have fought prejudice and seen some of the most unsavoury sides of the city.

The Edge of Democracy
Petra Costa
Dilma Rousseff, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
A cautionary tale for these times of democracy in crisis—the personal and political fuse to explore one of the most dramatic periods in Brazilian history. With unprecedented access to Presidents Dilma Rousseff and Lula da Silva, we witness their rise and fall and the tragically polarized nation that remains.

Jean Wyllys is one of the MPs of Brazil's National Congress. The politician, who is also a journalist and teacher, fights for minorities, as well as being one of the greatest representatives of the LGBTQ+ cause.

A Lei e o Medo
Hermes Leal
Jean Wyllys, Marta Suplicy
A documentary that shows the fear of the loss of democratic achievements in the face of Bolsonaro's election in 2018. The film highlights two of these laws, the one that allowed homo affective marriage, among other LGBTQ+ flags, and the one that allows arresting those who protest in the streets, created in 2013 to curb street movements against the government.
