A Brazilian military's quest, in both myth and history, expands the visible and invisible frontiers of human imagination and computer's virtual veil. A correspondence between the intricate rhythms of longing and displacement, as poignant memories of a Mexican couple's love echo from beginning to its end. A journey through the ethereal realms of self-discovery and affirmation intertwines with the delicate tapestry of Ayo’s black identity. Recollections from an unknown territory whispers through sand and wind about a future that has already passed. Between the contact of a young girl and a cyborg, a bond is formed, entwining destiny and light. And the world’s horror and supernatural is narrated by the moon as a tale in a delirious collage.&nbsp; These encounters between reality and dreamscape, created by Latin American artists, transcend boundaries and beckon us to immerse ourselves in the kaleidoscope of their diverse perspectives, territories, and experiences. Watching this special program is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in narratives that challenge us, that push the boundaries of our understanding, and provoke introspection.

Therefore maps from that time render the real and imaginary. The film follows a voyage of the Brazilian Military in search of an imaginary island with the same name as their country. In the myth from 1483 Brazil, or Hy-Brasil, is known to exist to the west of Ireland and above the Fortunate Islands. Vision of Paradise is an examination of the capacity of the human imagination and computer simulations to construct environments. Amidst the fine threshold of the real, simulated, and imagined, the film analyzes the contemporary ideas of virtual reality and their ambition to expand the frontiers of the physical world into a "New World''.

But it’s love itself that triggers this zooming-in on the other in the first place. She poses in front of the camera, naked. ‘Why are you doing that?’ he asks. ‘Because I love you.’ Francisco Borrajo combines short sequences shot in Super 8 and Super 35: lucid (recollected) images of a relationship, intimate and warm - even as the perspective progressively zooms further and further out.

VISÃO DO PARAÍSO

PLAYA

Ayo is an artist who lives alone, submerged in the seas within her soul, and begins to question her identity while working on self-portraits, when she realizes that she does not see herself as she really is. From then on, she begins to disentangle herself from the process of social whitening and struggles with herself to claim her blackness.

Eu, Negra // Yo, Negra // I, a Black Woman

In the heart of the Middle East, between whispers, bright sun, stealthy sand and futuristic buildings, where high technology plays a key role, the World's Fair is about to take place. A journey of observation unfolds a path between renderings and reality, where the desert is the only permanent thing.

THE IMPOSSIBLE FUTURE

Licantropia is an atonement of the figure of the werewolf, a creature shaped by men-kind as a scapegoat to give contour to cruel acts perpetrated by humanity through the course of history. Narrated by the moon during the course of a night and merging fiction and reality, the film is a collage of 16mm, digital, engravings, text and anonymous testimonies. The werewolf, a hybrid being, operates always “in between”, transitioning around the limits of reality and invention, lie and truth, history and stories: it is an amalgam that merges in one single image the human and the animal, operating as an approachable bridge to investigate civilizing processes of domination through history.&nbsp;

LICANTROPIA

When a mysterious light invades socially awkward Lila, she encounters its source: a cyborg who comes to remind her who she was in a past life.
