A ForestCria
The auteur label of Forest Criações.
About the company →We make films, books and comics from Brasília, with our feet in the Cerrado and our eyes on the Amazon, on Brazil's territories and on the contradictions of the country today.
Political satire, science fiction, magical realism and documentary: the genres change, the underlying question stays the same. What are we not seeing? Since 2011 our works have screened at Gramado, the Brasília Film Festival, Los Angeles, Berlin, Copenhagen and Kuala Lumpur, and reached Canal Brasil, Globoplay and Prime Video.
For funders, co-producers and programmers, we offer what a project needs to stand on its own: a consistent authorial voice, experience managing public funding and a team that moves between independent production and the market.
Artistic direction by Thiago Foresti, director and screenwriter.
