I’ll be leaving soon. It’s so strange to think that this time is coming to an end; the people I met here feel almost like old friends now. I’ll probably never see them again. A sad thought, but - I suppose - a very realistic one. Australia is so far away from the rest of the world...

In 1965 a VW Beetle is sold in São Paulo, Brazil. Forty years later, the car ends up in a Recife scrapyard in the northeast, with the license plate KFZ-1348. The documentary “The Beetle KFZ-1348” presents the stories of this car through its eight owners, whose lives show a unique portrait of a country.

When we are faced with something that we know will disappear.

The arrival of the Suape port and industrial complex brought business opportunities for large construction companies and their planned "high standard" neighborhoods in contrast to the life in the periphery and rural area of Cabo de Santo Agostinho (PE), the most vulnerable city for the young black men in Brazil.

Pacific, a documentary, is entirely constructed from images taken by passengers on a cruise ship which is bound for one of the most beautiful natural settings in Brazil, the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha. The seven days of the voyage are recorded by the lenses of the tourists who film everything, all the time. By casting its eyes on how the characters see things, the film is revealed to be an essay on the production of images in contemporary society and their political implications. In addition it throws the spotlight on a reflection on Brazilian society, using a social group rarely seen and one that is well beyond the stereotypes commonly observed in documentaries.

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.

When images of illuminated objects penetrate a dark chamber through a small hole and get projected onto a white paper sheet positioned a certain distance from that hole, one can see inverted objects with their own shapes and colors on the sheet.

More than 500,000 deaths. A denial president who mocks the disease. Just over a year after the start of the pandemic, Brazil becomes the new epicenter of Covid-19 in the world.
