Why More Black Americans Should Try Capoeira
Director Chinwe Oniah - USA - 9 min.
Chinwe Oniah, a student of capoeira, was initially drawn to the Afro-Brazilian art form for its martial arts and self-defense elements. But the art form that also combines dance, music, spirituality, history and philosophy quickly developed into something greater for her – a return to form, a return to self, and the discovery that capoeira is Black people’s cultural legacy, still thriving centuries after its beginnings.
Barullo
Director Ruth Zapico Mancebo - USA - 7 min.
In "Barullo," the essence of unique human experiences takes center stage. While physical constants define our world, life's moments are ever-changing, shaped by unpredictable variables and circumstances. This film captures the essence of life's fleeting nature, demonstrating the freedom found in music, the connection with others, and the beauty of nature. Through the shared purpose of enjoyment, dance, and unity, "Barullo" celebrates the transient yet profound moments that allow souls to soar, bringing individuals together in a shared, exhilarating dance of existence.
