Martírio

Vincent Carelli, Tatiana Almeida

Waving the flag that states every film is political, Vincent Carelli visibilizes in this documentary the cause of the Guarani-Kaiowá: a group of indigenous people that fear their lands, located in the Mato Grosso do Sul, will be confiscated by the State. A territorial conflict born more than one hundred years ago, during the Paraguay war. While fighting against the Brazilian Congress in order not to be evicted from their homes, the 50.000 indigenous people demand the demarcation of the space that belongs to them. With some rigorous investigative work, the Brazilian director tells with his own voice of the social and political injustices suffered by the Guarani people through material he filmed over the course of more than forty years. The archive images, both color and black and white, reveal the crudeness with which they coexist every day: among the violation of their civil rights and the guts with which they confront the usurpers.

Nunca é Noite no Mapa

Ernesto de Carvalho

What difference does it make to the map, if it contains you? A frontal encounter with the map, takes us on a tour of the symbiotic circuits between the map and how transformations of spaces in the era of digital capitalism. "The map does not walk, fly, run, feel uncomfortable, have no opinion. There is no government for the map, there is no coup, there is no revolution."

Braço Armado das Empreiteiras

Pedro Severien, Juliano Dornelles

In July 2014 the police of Pernambuco used extreme violence against the Movement Occupy Estelita. Without trying to open any channel of dialogue, the riot squad, GATI and other troops used a disproportionate amount of force for the repossession of an area from José Estelita pier, in the city of Recife. It got clear during the day that the police were there not only to carry out a lawsuit, but to try to repress a legitimate movement of civilians.
