As part of our Filmmaker residency, No Kings with director Emilia Mello is screening this Wednesday for FREE!

An ode to nature and human relations, No Kings explores the freedom of a hidden community in the Brazilian southeast. A tomboy hurtling towards womanhood, a fiercely independent single mother, and a doubtful sea captain carry on at the edge of the sea, in a liminal space between urban and traditional life. What begins as a simple ethnography becomes a deeply personal journey and a rolling visual exploration of how we love, and live, on earth. The director starts to ask herself: What freedoms are found when the bounds of authority defined by urban society fall away?
