Duwid Tuminikiz – Makunaima é Duwid?
Duwid is what the Wapixana people call Makunaima, brother of Tuminkery, creator beings of the world we live in. In 2028, the rhapsody Macunaíma by Mário de Andrade will turn one hundred years old, and this animated short enters this milestone not as a celebration of the modernist novel, but as a critical repositioning. In Andrade’s fiction and its developments, Macunaíma underwent successive processes of decontextualization: baptized and turned into plays, films, music, albums, rhapsodies, novels, short stories, and poetry. Yet the entirety of these productions was rarely seen or accessed by Indigenous peoples—nor conceived for them. In Makunaima is Duwid, Bete, a university student of Wapixana origin, converses with her grandmother about the stories of Duwid. The film enters this debate asserting the right of precedence and the continuity of these narratives. What Brazilian culture consecrated as a literary hero remains, in Indigenous cultures, grandfather and grandmother—a living presence in stories, territories, and struggles.

A drone story
This short film documents the daily life that I and the residents of Beirut lived through for months amid the ceaseless sounds of war—bombs and the relentless hum of drones.

On a cold April morning in a small village beneath the mountains, Milena hurriedly packs what remains of her family’s life as distant echoes of war creep into her home.

Walking through narrow streets crowded with silence, the encounter with the neighbors who look like shadows to her and Jovche’s friend Arben becomes a wordless goodbye to the life they once knew. At the bus station, marked by the scars of violence where bullet holes spell out the word “death”, Milena hesitates between the safety of the past and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. When the bus finally arrives, mother and son step into the unknown, carrying only what they could save — and the quiet hope that survival might still lead them to something better.
