Known For
Two boys meet during a film workshop in the Azores. Apparently coming from different realities, they begin an unlikely relationship of mutual curiosity, challenging the stability of their convictions about bravery and tenderness.
Os Bravos
Ten diverse short films, ten queer reinterpretations of erotic silent film fantasies produced by the Viennese company Saturn from 1906 to 1911. Saturn returns, comically, imaginatively, for the fun of it: beyond the patriarchy, on this side of the pleasure principle.
Saturn Return

A group of Indigenous Achuar children that moves self-determined through the endless green. Along the course of the Pastaza river, on the border between Ecuador and Peru, they catch fish, hunt and cook, play with lianas and watch videos on their smartphones. Director Inês T. Alves respectfully follows the everyday life of this young collective living in deep connection with one another and with the environment.
