Mato Seco em Chamas
In the Sol Nascente favela, on the outskirts of the Brazilian capital, an all-female gang selling gas on the black market decides to create a political party to represent the interests of a population abandoned by the government. This subversive tale reminiscent of Robin Hood is directed by Joana Pimenta and Adirley Queirós, who live in the region. The arid landscape adds to the creation of a rather singular atmosphere. The film picks up on a recurrent approach in Queirós’ work, which flows easily between reality and fiction and draws on Western and science fiction elements. Dry Ground Burning is an explosive and irrefutable invitation to rebellion against the conservative dystopia engulfing Brazil.
