Abjuration 2025

IN THE BLUR BETWEEN DOCUMENTARY AND FICTION WE CONJURE THE SPELL!

Directed by Fernando Weller

Naywá returns to her hometown of Oeiras, in the interior of Piauí, and proposes to a group of amateur actors a reading and performance of a 1758 document that narrates a Witches' Sabbath in the city. Arrenego is a film that addresses the persistence of colonial, racial, and gender oppression in Brazil, connecting the past with the contradictions of the present.
