Canuto’s Transformation · Ariel Kuaray Ortega, Ernesto de Carvalho · Brazil · 2023
In a small Mbya-Guarani community between Brazil and Argentina, everyone knows the name Canuto: a man who many years ago suffered the dreaded transformation into a Jaguar, and then died tragically. Now, a film is being made to tell his story.
Bila Burba · Duiren Wagua · Panama · 2023
The Gunadule, the original inhabitants of northern Panama, reenact their successful uprising in 1925 against the repressive Panamanian government every year. Keeping this past alive is crucial for the preservation of collective identity.
Behind Closed Doors · Joao Pedro Bim · Brazil · 2023
In 1968, Brazil’s military government passed a law that ushered in the most violent period of the dictatorship. The meeting was recorded, but remained secret for decades. The documentary combines these audio tracks with propaganda films of the time.

Rosinha And Other Wild Animals · Marta Pessoa · Portugal · 2023
In 1934, the Portuguese New State displayed, at the Portuguese Colonial Exhibition, the ultimate symbol of its virility in Rosinha, a native of what was then Portuguese Guinea. The film questions the idea of Portugal's so-called "gentle racism", by looking back at more than a century of colonial discourse.
Incompatible with life · Eliza Capai · Brazil · 2023
From a personal experience of a pregnancy that had a diagnosis of fetal malformation incompatible with life, director Eliza Capai spoke with other women who had gone through a similar situation, creating a powerful and touching choir of voices that reflects on universal themes: motherhood, prenatal grief and abortion. They are all from Brazil, a place where abortion in these cases can lead to up to three years in prison.
