REPÚBLICA
(2020, Brazil) Dirs. Grace Passô, 16 minutes

The pandemic brandishes the extent of the necropolitics operating in the country, and its society goes through a crisis of ethics amidst a government which is the exact expression of colonialist power. República is a short film made at home, with a domestic structure, at the beginning of the 2020 quarantine, in downtown São Paulo, Brazil.

DAZED FLESH
(2019, Brazil) Dirs. Grace Passô, Ricardo Alves Júnior, 46 minutes

A wandering voice is able to invade any matter—solid, liquid, or gaseous—and it decides for the first time to invade a woman's body. From this experience it narrates what it feels as a subject, what "it" pretends to feel, what is unfathomable in itself, what its image is to the others, and probes what a body means as a social construction.
