A Rainha Nzinga Chegou (2019)

A documentary structured in the mythical narratives about the origins of the black kingdoms in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Made in collaboration with the afro- descendant group Guarda de Moçambique and Congo Treze de Maio, this feature film has two priority seeks: the kingdoms' ritual cycles and cosmological features tell from the perspective of their participants; a travel to Angola with Belinha Casimiro (queen of the Congo kingdom) and Antônio Casimiro (captain of the Mozambique Guard). Back to Africa, they will recreate a vanished world that we can record just if we overcome the borders between documentary and fiction. Black diasporic culture is interesting for all the international festivals because the theme and the derived language of this film are fundamental issue of the humanity today: the encounter of differences, the forced migration in the past and today.
