Guaruja, A Wonderful Film

Synopsis

Have you ever wanted to play a game but didn’t have who to play it with? Guaruja, a wonderful movie exposes the lives of two people, Paulo and Angela who found in each other their perfect playmates. The movie is structured in an episodic narrative and the setting is an idyllic apartment facing the beaches of Brazil. There they hide and seek, play music, dance and make love. They pretend to be away from each other, prepare fictional dinners and feast on political nonsense. The couple is interpreted by four actors and each scene brings a different pair of actors to the game. Sometimes a man and a woman and other times two men or two women play them. Thus creating the idea that this is a game common to many relationships. People of different genders, sexual roles and ages are all welcomed to play. Paulo and Angela always believe love is a playful game and life is the game to play.

Black Church Bay

Year: 2026

Drama

A Time Before

Director: Leo Metcalf

Year: 2024

Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
