Novo Rio
Directed by Lorran Dias
In the 2000s, Lorran Dias lives an unprecedented and unexpected experience: she travels by plane with her parents to the municipality of Tamboril, in Ceará (where her mother was born), leaving Favela da Maré. Tania Dias records in photographs the only time she has returned to her homeland since the 1980s and her son's only contact with the place. Twenty years later, in an essay on distance and its transformations, Lorran brings together her mother's memories with reports of the displacement of other northeastern people living in Favela da Maré.
