The Mostra Outros Esquemas session takes place for the second time in Cine Esquema Novo - Brazilian Audiovisual Art, this year in a non-competitive way. These are works that make our eyes glitter, that provoke and excite us. These are 12 films for which we had a lot of affection during the selection process, but which, mainly due to their narrative characteristics, differ from what we seek in the competitive show. And we want to share with the audience all these sensations and reflections caused by these films in the curatorial committee.

Dois homens ao mar / Two men at sea builds the relationship with the other unknown; Espero Que Esta te Encontre e Que Estejas Bem / I hope that this one finds you and that you are well makes a real investigation in search of True Love; Essa Terra é Nossa! / This Land Is Ours! recalls the basics that we should all know about the relationship of the original peoples with the country we have baptized Brazil; Eu, Um Outro / I, Another creates a powerful fiction from the everyday life of trans men; Glauber, claro / Glauber, of course relives the years of irreverence and the friends Glauber Rocha made in Italy; Homens Invisíveis / Invisible Men presents a never-seen-before theme about the situation of trans men in prisons; King Kong En Asunción presents an inner journey of acceptance of death; Mulher Oceano / Ocean Woman takes to Japan another inner journey in search of a meaning for life; O Que Pode Um Corpo? / What can a body? is a film about victories and the non-existence of the impossible; Pega-se Facção presents intimate looks on the working conditions of women in the countryside of Brazil; Seremos Ouvidas / We will be heard brings another unprecedented and blunt theme: the form with which deaf women denounce domestic violence; and finally, Zabé do Cariri makes a musical tour of deep respect to a traditional Pífano player (Pife).
Because of their cinematographic, political, social and narrative relevance, and also because of the current moment of Brazilian cinema, these works need to be screened, watched and reflected upon.
