- DirectorMaria RamosStarsDilma RousseffJair BolsonaroJosé Eduardo CardozoThe Trial documents the trial of Dilma Rousseff, focusing on the defense team, who struggles to prove her innocence against a majority vote by a Congress riddled with corruption. A tale of betrayal and corruption, the film presents Rousseff's personal story: herself imprisoned and tortured by the country's former military dictatorship, she now faces impeachment accused of fiscal crimes. Rousseff declares herself innocent and accuses the right-wing opposition of perpetrating a parliamentary coup d'état. The Trial witnesses how the impeachment triggers a profound political crisis in Brazil. It looks at the collapse of the democratic institutions and at the economic and geopolitical interests at the very heart of this crisis. The film offers a behind-the-scenes look at this historical moment. The filmmaker was granted unique access to the defense team, to deputies and senators and to President Rousseff herself. Ramos' technique is wholly observational, without interviews and narrations. The camera captures physical and conversational interactions in private and political spheres while offering viewers a glimpse of the outdoor mass demonstrations.

- DirectorBárbara PazStarsHector BabencoRegina BragaWillem Dafoe"I have already lived my death and now all that is left is to make a film about it." So said the filmmaker Hector Babenco to Bárbara Paz when he realized he did not have much time left. She accepted the challenge to fulfill the last wish of her late partner: to be the main protagonist in his own death. In this tender immersion into the life of one of the greatest filmmakers from South America, Babenco himself consciously bares his soul in intimate and painful situations. He expresses fears and anxieties, and also memories, reflections, and fantasies, in this face-off between his intellectual vigor and physical frailty, which were the hallmarks of his career. From the onset of cancer at the age of 38 until his death at 70, Babenco made of the cinema his medicine and the nourishment that kept him alive. "Babenco - Tell me when I Die" is Barbara Paz's first feature film, but is also in a way Hector's last work: a film about filming so never to die.

- A series that crosses the largest road in Brazil, analyzing chapter by chapter the great problems of the Amazonian occupation and its current consequences: deforestation and forest devastation, agrarian conflicts and the struggle for land, genocide of indigenous populations, contradictions of the non-sustainable development model that does not respect biodiversity and the wisdom of local populations. The highway, which would be one of the ways to take Brazil to the future, left a morbid legacy of unresolved issues with dimensions as gigantic as their extent. The construction of the Transamazon highway was a gigantic saga, the greatest example of the pharaonic works of the Brazilian military government. But the road that would promote national integration was best known for linking the famine of the Northeast with the misery of the Amazon, and was abandoned halfway without being completed. The haunting tone of jornalistic films of the day describes this epic in surrealistic colors. It tells the story of this road, mile to mile, meeting the people who lived this experience and confronting them with this unusual archive material.
