- DirectorJúlia MuratStarsSonia GuedesLisa FáveroLuis SerraEach citizen of Jotuomba plays an integral role in village life. Madalena is responsible for baking bread; each morning she stacks her rolls as Antonio prepares the coffee. The two share a morning ritual of arguments and insults, followed by an amicable cup of coffee on the bench outside Antonio's shop. At midday the church bells ring, summoning the villagers to mass. In the early evening, they all share a meal together. And so life proceeds in Jotuomba, the days languidly drifting into one another. The only variations seem to be in the weather. One day Rita arrives looking for a place to stay. She came upon the village while traveling through the valley, following the unused railroad tracks. She is a photographer, intent on capturing the village's special allure. Initially reticent, the townsfolk gradually open up to her, sharing their stories and allowing themselves to be photographed.

Only the village priest continues to find Rita's presence worrisome, especially when she begins asking about the locked cemetery.

- DirectorRené AllioStarsClaude HébertJacqueline MillièreJoseph LeportierBased on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault, this unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835, when a young man, Pierre Rivière, murdered his mother, sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place, the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives, including the written confession of Pierre himself, and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of "truth" and "history".

- DirectorRodrigo SiqueiraPedro de Almeida, garimpeiro de 81 anos de idade, comanda como mestre de cerimônias o velório, o cortejo fúnebre e o enterro de João Batista, que morreu com 120 anos. O ritual sucede-se no quilombo Quartel do Indaiá, distrito de Diamantina, Minas Gerais. Com uma canequinha esmaltada, ele joga as últimas gotas de cachaça sobre o cadáver já assentado na cova: "O que você queria taí! Nós não bebeu ela não, a sua taí. Vai e não volta pra me atentar por causa disso não. Faz sua viagem em paz". Dessa maneira acaba o sepultamento de João Batista, após 17 horas de velório, choro, riso, farra, reza, silêncios, tristeza. No cortejo, muita cantoria com os versos dos vissungos, tradição herdada da áfrica. Descendente de escravos que trabalhavam na extração de diamantes, nas Minas Gerais do tempo do Brasil Império, Pedro é um dos últimos conhecedores dos vissungos, as cantigas em dialeto banguela cantadas durante os rituais fúnebres da região, que eram muito comuns nos séculos 18 e 19. Garimpeiro de muita sorte, Pedro já encontrou diamantes de tesouros enterrados pelos antigos escravos, na região de Diamantina. Mas, o primeiro diamante que encontrou, há 70 anos, o tio com quem trabalhava o enterrou e morreu sem dizer onde. Depois disso, vive sempre em uma sinuca: para reencontrar o diamante só se invocar a alma de seu tio João dos Santos. "É um diamante e tanto, você precisa ver que botão de mágoa." Ao conduzir o funeral de João Batista, Pedro desfia histórias carregadas de poesia e significados metafísicos, que nos põem em dúvida o tempo inteiro: João Batista tinha pacto com o Diabo?; O Diabo existe?; estamos sozinhos, ou as almas também estão entre nós?; como Deus inventou a Morte? A atuação de Pedro e seus familiares frente à câmera nos provoca pela sua dramaturgia espontânea, uma auto-mise-en-scène instigante. No filme, não se sabe o que é fato e o que é representação, o que é verdade e o que é um conto, documentário ou ficção, o que é cinema e o que é vida, o que é africano e o que é mineiro, brasileiro.
