The Day That Lasted 21 Years
Between March 31 and April 1, 1964, Brazil was the scene of a military coup by the Armed Forces, who removed President João Goulart from power and instituted a military dictatorship that would last 21 years - and which persecuted, tortured, and killed its opponents. Much has already been told and studied about this period of Brazilian history, but Camilo Tavares' documentary brings new elements, including previously unpublished documents and audio recordings proving the involvement of the United States in the conspiracy. There are also backstages of political articulation within Brazil, since the establishment of the dictatorship had the support of various sectors of society. A story that must remain alive so that it never happens again.

La Bonga

Life Is Not a Competition, But I'm Winning
Life is not a Competition, but I'm Winning is a sports documentary that challenges one of the most debated—and controversial—issues in professional sports in recent years: the rigidity of gender-based competitive divisions—male and female—with the resultant exclusion of transgender athletes. With a visual style that goes beyond typical sports documentaries, this production challenges these classifications while celebrating the triumphs of transgender women who have been denied the opportunity to compete and represent their disciplines—and even their nations—on the podium.
Skywalkers: A Love Story
Skywalkers: A Love Story is a documentary presented at the Sundance Festival 2024 that, from its theme and subjects, might already seem controversial: it follows a couple dedicated to rooftopping, the activity of clandestinely scaling skyscrapers and other tall structures, and documenting it. The documentary explores their trajectories, motivations, and romantic relationship, as they prepare for the most risky—and important—climb of their lives. Filled with spectacular and even terrifying images, with editing that keeps the viewer engaged, Skywalkers will fascinate the curious, even if, as such, its reflections on love never reach the same heights.
