10-Year Manifesto

We make cinema to involve ourselves; we explore through different formats, seeking to connect with diverse audiences. Our work emerges from the urgency to tell stories from the world’s south, traversing a bridge between memory and the future—a gesture of connection that seeks to dialogue with contemporary themes, honor nature, and create with care.
