Director: Filipe Matzembacher, Marcio Reolon
Cast: Nicolas Vargas, Sophia Starosta, Luiz Paulo Vasconcellos
Brazil, 2016, BluRay, color, 100’

Young directors Reolon and Matzembacher whose fiction "Seashore" was appraised in last year's edition, are back screen with 4 colorful episodes each lasts 25 minutes.

Four exuberant, colorful episodes plunge us into the long nights and hazy mornings of a group of young bohemians and the army boy they adopt as one of their own.  As the film's young heroes battle homophobia and gender discrimination of all kinds, they remain empowered by each other, dancing through it all, and their sense of pride is truly inspiring.

The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.

A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
