Pintinho
Sandra Werneck, Jom Tob Azulay
The training process of professional soccer players has become part of a powerful economic system. The case of Pintinho illustrates the drama not only of soccer players, but all those gifted with talent and potential who permanently struggle against the social and economic conditions in which they live and which hinder their personal realization. The film shows soccer as one of the few ways of escaping poor social conditions, as well as the high price of success, the problems in overcoming personal limitations and bearing the pressures of premature expectations.

Os Doces Bárbaros
Jom Tob Azulay
Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa
The film records the commemorative tour of the ten years of the career of the Bahia singers Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia and Gal Costa, who formed the group with the name of Doces Bárbaros (Sweet Barbarians), at the suggestion of Bethânia. Conceived to present the shows of the live album that would be released (Doces Bárbaros - Live), the documentary changed of tone when registering the arrest and judgment of Gilberto Gil and of a companion by possession of drugs. Gil was forced to go to a detox clinic, and only went out to participate in the programmed shows.
