Three Vendors of Ipanema poster
NR

“The Human Being is Only Free When One is Master of One’s Self”. These words cap a mural in Cantagalo, a favela high over Rio De Janeiro. Epictetus’s words frame the lives of three beach vendors descending from the hills to sell homemade foods on the “Farme” section of Ipanema Beach. These three independent spirits working for themselves have maintained their dignity in a harsh economy and love their work. This is why they have been known and loved by the LGBTQ+ community for decades.

Calidris poster
NR

New York City attracts Jane and Carlos, like so many others, with the promise of a better life. That's why they've left their home country, Brazil. Yet as immigrants, they don't have all the opportunities that the American dream implies. Their search for a new and better life represents that of all the immigrants who dare to attempt a fresh start in another country. It is also the story of changes taking place in United States and Brazil. The fictional story about Jane and Carlos in this experimental film is intertwined with the personal experiences of the film team, which reports in interspersed episodes about their own immigration and that of others they've researched.
