- DirectorPhilip CoxStarsMike CantonOliver WangAl GeeFunk Queen Betty Davis changed the landscape for female artists in America. She "was the first..." as former husband Miles Davis said. "Madonna before Madonna, Prince before Prince". An aspiring songwriter from a small steel town, Betty arrived on the 70's scene to break boundaries for women with her daring personality, iconic fashion and outrageous funk music. She befriended Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone, wrote songs for the Chambers Brothers and the Commodores, and married Miles - startlingly turning him from jazz to funk on the album she named "Bitches Brew". She then, despite being banned and boycotted, went on to become the first black woman to perform, write and manage herself. Betty was a feminist pioneer, inspiring and intimidating in a manner like no woman before. Then suddenly - she just vanished. Betty Mabry Davis is a global icon whose mysterious life story has until now, never been told. Creatively blending documentary, animation and nonfiction techniques, this movie traces the path of Betty's life, how she grew from humble upbringings to become a fully self-realized black female pioneer the world failed to understand or appreciate, revealing the mystery of her 35-year disappearance and her battle with mental illness and poverty. After years of trying, the elusive Betty, forever the free-spirited Black Power Goddess, finally allowed the filmmakers to creatively tell her story based on their conversations.

- DirectorSergio ConstantinoStarsFederico MouraJulio MouraMarcelo MouraEven today there is still a certain resistance to recognizing the aesthetic revolution caused by Virus in the early eighties. The audacity of Federico Moura at the head of the La Plata's band exceeded the limits of rock and is still a source of art-pop knowledge. Pagan images explores that tension and rejection in times of dictatorship, a scourge that the Moura family paid with the disappearance of Federico's older brother. "I know what I do not want, but I'm not sure what I want and I'm glad it's so, the uncertain keeps me alive," says the singer as the youth photos go by quickly and all their profiles explain to the budding artist. The fan's look is borne by the direction: Sergio Costantino puts all the memorabilia at the service of the lost traces of the singer, who will die of AIDS in December 1988. Even the inserts, a kind of vision parallel to the stories of the protagonists reinforce stylistic features such as ambiguity, provocation, irony and sexual freedom. The documentary by Costantino inaugurates a time of historical reparation with Federico Moura as warrior of modernity.
