- In search of her father, an ex-political prisoner who refuses to talk about the past, the filmmaker untangles her grandmother's intimate writings in an attempt to understand the story of their family against the brutal backdrop of the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964 - 1985).
- The Divine Divas are the icons of the first generation of Brazilian transvestite artists in the 1960's. One of the first stages to host men dressed as women was the Rival Theatre, ran by Américo Leal, the director's grandfather. The film shows the intimacy, the talent and the stories of a generation that revolutionized the sexual behavior and defied the moral of a time.
- A THOUSAND WOMEN starting point was an interactive proposition: feminist artists creating artistic project inspired by other women's stories. Following four artists selected by an online open call - Ana Luisa Santos (Brazil), Bia Ferreira (Brazil), Florencia Duran (Uruguay) and Lena Chen (USA) -, the film reflects on art and activism through women's perspective. By bringing together artists from different backgrounds and creative works, the documentary shows how women express themselves, where they find inspiration and how they connect the world outside them with their inner life to create meaningful artworks.
- A young couple, Pedro and Antônia, have their relationship weakening after meeting Luana. Romance, seduction, fear and anguish from the future are established in this story of liquid love.

- Amid her arboreal surroundings, Amanda experiences a sexual awakening just as her neighbor receives a litter of new puppies.
- They came by bike, on foot, by bus, on motorhomes. They crossed deserts, some crossed the continent, they slept on the streets and in hotels in the favelas. Always with their cameras, they wandered around the city and experienced the World Cup as a huge party. Entirely made up of the images recorded by the travelers themselves, this short film shows the Rio de Janeiro they found, and the adventures of being in the World Cup. // Eles vieram de bicicleta, a pé, de ônibus, de trailer. Atravessaram desertos, cruzaram o continente, dormiram na rua, em hotéis nas favelas. Munidos com suas câmeras, eles circularam pela cidade e viveram a Copa do Mundo como uma grande festa. Construído inteiramente com as imagens feitas pelos próprios viajantes, o curta mostra o Rio de Janeiro que eles descobriram e as aventuras de viver a Copa do Mundo.
- Ella decides to follow her Capoeira master on a trip around the world to experience and register the Capoeira movement outside of Brazil. This proximity awakens feelings that will change their relationship for life. This fiction film alternates with real archive footage of the early days of Capoeira.
- A joy for the eyes and ears, this high-point of the Brazilian trilogy Operation Sonia Silk. A dreamy making-of about the two other episodes and also a cinematographic essay (in picture, text, sound and music) about cinema and filmmaking and, above all, about love. 'What is this thing called love? This funny thing called love? Just who can solve its mystery? Why should it make a fool of me?' So goes the short, poetic synopsis provided by the filmmakers Bruno Safadi and Ricardo Pretti for this third part of their trilogy Operation Sonia Silk. In this 'operation', shot in three weeks, the directors each separately made one part (Harmonica's Howl and Rio Belongs to Us, both shown at IFFR 2012), and then this joint third part, which grew into a surprising high-point. A joy to watch and hear, a film that occasionally looks like a making-of, occasionally an essay and always as a homage to cinema and love in text, sound and vision: 'verbivocovisual', as Brazilian form poets call that. The whole thing breathes the atmosphere of romantic Hollywood films from the 1930s, but is equally influenced by the Cinema Marginal directors Bressane and Sganzerla. Young star actresses Leandra Leal and Mariana Ximenes worked in the film for free.
