About Us

Arenga Filmes is a research group composed by Ana Carolina Marinho, Anna Zêpa and Bárbara Santos. Created in 2017, the group investigates the women presence in film narratives; and they do films and audiovisual projects. The short film “BETWEEN”, the first to be directed by Arenga Filmes, in partnership with producing company Bela Filmes, was selected for the grant Prêmio Estímulo ao Curta-metragem of São Paulo´s state government and premiered in competition at the 63rd BFI London Film Festival (2019). In 2018, we were once again awarded the Prêmio Estímulo ao Curta-metragem, now with the short film "ADELAIDE, THERE’S NO SECOND CHANCE FOR MISTAKES", which is in production. We are finalizing our first documentary feature film "I (ALSO) DIDN'T CUM" that was worked on DocSP's DOC LAB in 2018.
