Helio Melo
2025 Festival Curta Cinema
2024 Olhar do Norte
Through an unprecedented juxtaposition of the visual and literary works of Hélio Melo with current portraits of Acre, we embark on the artist’s struggle to tell the story of rubber tappers and indigenous peoples of the Amazon who defend the forest against threats of erasure and destruction.
