Lincoln Péricles (also known as "LK" or "LKT") is a Brazilian filmmaker. Born and lives in the Capão Redondo neighborhood, in a housing project in São Paulo. Son of indigenous immigrants from the forests of the state of Paraná who went to live in poverty in the capital of São Paulo. He is a director, screenwriter, editor and educator, with more than twelve years working on films produced in his neighborhood and territories that have great significance for his people, which have circulated among film clubs and collectives, pirate DVD stalls, national and international festivals. In February 2020, his work was highlighted by Cahiers du Cinéma, considered the largest film publication in the world, which described it as "A cinema far removed from the imagery linked to the favelas, which invents its own form, rough and necessarily imperfect, between intervention and the visual archive of the neighborhood".
LK is known in Brazil for bringing elements of Hip Hop culture into his work, making a cinema known as "cine-sample", a concept that uses archival materials to construct innovative and unique narratives about the people and cultures he comes from.
