Depois da chuva
1984, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It all starts with a feeling that anything is possible. After twenty years of dictatorship, the population goes out onto the streets to demand presidential elections. The emerging political process has given them a new sense of freedom. Caio, a free-thinking teenager, is struggling against authority both at home and at school. The year will be a very special one for him and his fellow anarchists; especially for him, since he's just met Fernanda, his first love. It's a transitional year for the young: a time of learning and growing up. But life isn't always good, and fate has surprises in store, for both the country and for Caio.

Até que a Sbórnia nos separe
The animated grotesque Until Sbornie Divides Us tells an allegorical story that is precisely targeted at today's burning issues, when building walls is becoming a political leitmotif and international borders are slowly losing their original meaning.
About Brasil Não Divulgado
Director Elizabeth Rocha Salgado can create documentaries that are well received by audiences, even if they sometimes show too difficult and sad a reality. Probably because they combine her highly professional view with an appeal to humanity. We will screen four short documentaries: Childbirth, The Cursed soap operas, On the verge of collapse and The River of Death.
Espaço Além - Marina Abramović eo Brasil
Marina Abramović is one of the most important conceptual artists, who often works with her body and transcendental energy. Together with Marco Del Fiola's film crew, Marina Abramović embarks on a personal spiritual journey throughout Brazil, in which she not only learns about the limits of her own perception, but also reveals the spiritual aspects of contemporary and ancient Brazil. These mix both shamanic rituals and various offshoots of Christian customs.
