This report highlights the successful participation of our film “Imperio” at Frameline47, an esteemed film festival celebrating LGBTQ+ cinema.

“Imperio” was selected to be part of Frameline47, and it had the privilege of being screened at The Castro Theatre. This iconic cinema holds immense historical and cultural significance, being a powerful symbol of the struggle for preserving cinematic art and independent film exhibition. The screening took place in a session named “THE ACE OF WANDS,” which showcased a captivating collection of short films that delved into themes of desires, bodies, and futures.
The Ace of Wands Program: The Ace of Wands Tarot card represents passion, excitement, and new energy. The short films featured in this program honored queer bodies and explored blossoming sexuality while also challenging and examining body politics. The session embraced ample nudity and heightened eroticism, emphasizing the intoxication of sexuality and the significance of bodily autonomy.

Throughout the Festival, we were fortunate to engage in various enriching experiences. We had the privilege of participating in the Industry Film Meeting, where we discussed both the film “EMPIRE” and our feature film project, “THE BRAZILWOOD WOMEN.” Additionally, we were delighted to receive an invitation from the NGO Café Kind (cafe.comabraco) to deliver a talk centered around Cinema, womxn, and Brazil. These opportunities allowed us to share our passion for filmmaking and foster meaningful dialogues with fellow enthusiasts and advocates of the arts.
Being in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area has provided us with invaluable insights and a strong desire to return, which will soon become a reality in August. We are thrilled to announce that “EMPIRE” has been selected for screening at the prestigious SFP Film Festival. This exciting opportunity has filled us with anticipation and eagerness to be back in the vibrant atmosphere of San Francisco and share our film with a diverse audience.
We remain optimistic about the outcomes of these endeavours, expecting them to open doors for future collaborations and creative opportunities and for the next steps of EMPIRE and THE BRAZILWOOD WOMEN.
Love to all
and we keep swimming around!
