Thiago Carvalhaes

Socialist Monopoly

Games of “socialist” Monopoly were played in the Soviet Union: for the Hungarian version, called “Manage your money wisely”, the first to furnish an apartment would win the game. Four players meet before Thiago Carvalhaes’s camera to throw the dice once again, reliving, through interspersed archives, their memory of communist Budapest and what it has become under Orban.

A Gis

Gisberta was a Brazilian trans woman that lived as immigrant in Portugal. She was brutally murdered 10 years ago and since then became an icon for the transsexual rights cause. Piece by piece, this documentary offers a delicate portrait of a woman torn apart by an indifferent world.
