Strive, Strive, Strive

Documentary film about the Brazilian football club Atletico Mineiro, but also about something intangible: football, its emotion and imperishable spirit.

The Sky Above

Blurring borders between documentary and fiction, this film portrays a few moments from the lives of three people from Belo Horizonte: a transsexual prostitute and academic, a Hare Krishna soccer fan and a would-be writer.

Like Water Through Stone

In the Espinhaço Mountains one winter, a group of small-town Brazilian girls are experiencing the end of their youth. Impossible romances leave marks on their bodies and the surrounding landscape. Each of the friends finds her own particular way to overcome the loneliness and to live within a tangle of uncertainty.

Silêncio

Immersion in a zone where fluid forms and the absence of words reveal that silence is before all things.

Accident

Out of the names of twenty cities from Minas Gerais, Brazil, the impulse towards the visual record of the things and lives that are found there. Images that do not intend to represent places, but rather to capture the following of a time specific for certain situations of coexistence between landscapes and people.
