- DirectorDf FiuzaStarsSandra AméricoFlavio BauraquiJoão BoscoThe feature film is a portrait of the popular resistance and the struggle of the union and student movement against the devaluation of education and teachers, with scenes that bring up the debate about machismo, racism, unity, resilience and everyday life of male and female workers. "Abraço" was produced to have an artistic / documentary character. Based on real stories, the film used more than 500 real extras and more than 80 local actors, from Sergipe, unknown to the general public. The proposal of the feature is to take the place of a film that makes a reading and a critique of the current Brazilian political scenario, mainly with regard to the neglect and permanent devaluation of teachers and education in general. Despite the social criticism contained in the work, it is a fictional film that addresses the personal drama of a teacher torn between defending her professional rights and the domestic routine at home. "Abraço" won the awards for Best Film (Popular Jury), Best Actress and Best Original Soundtrack at the Pernambuco Film Festival 2019. "Sergipe teachers decide to join forces to fight for their labor rights. Together, they establish a confrontation against the Government of the State of Sergipe to ensure that their achievements already achieved are not lost.

- 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.
