Known For

Chagall, Picasso and Kandinsky hang around in a synthesis that seemed impossible, a film adapted from a book by P. Cachapa.

Ana is a child, girl, adult, tall, fat, thin... Ana is the part of all of us that once in a while wakes up without knowing who she is. That conscious amnesia that propels us to travel, question, look without tiring even though it might not be clear who or what we might find.
To Be Or Not To Bee

Idade Óssea – Um Filme em Sete Quadros
On a hot summer afternoon, life unfolds, shadows grow and the wind blows. Two children play without noticing that time advances relentlessly, theirs, the one of the creatures, the one of the earth, and the one of the imagination. This elastic and layered time reveals itself in its traces, marks, and elements, allowing us to learn more about earth and its inhabitants. Five narrators accompany us in this excavation that is intended to be infinite, revealing time and its marks.
