CINE
FRONTEIRA
(filmmaker member)
CineFronteira is a collective of artists and activists dedicated to film education, film clubs, and artistic creation, engaging with Latin American and decolonial discussions. The group also organizes free film screenings and debates in public spaces in Belo Horizonte, aiming to strengthen contemporary Brazilian cinema and foster an ongoing dialogue between filmmakers, critics, educators, activists, and the public.
Founded in 2015, CineFronteira is driven by a shared commitment to the democratization of cinema as a political and essential tool in the Brazilian context. Based in Belo Horizonte, we strive to integrate cinema into school curricula, promote local cultural dissemination, and advocate for the right to the city. Additionally, we carry out initiatives and discussions highlighting the importance of film in education and collective formation.

Current project:
PEDAL-PRO-NÓBIS

The “Pedal-pro-nobis” series was born out of the desire to create a favorable environment for the dialogue between artists, activists, intellectuals, and young innovators. In each episode, an interesting personality is interviewed during a bicycle ride, in such a way that the debate can happen anywhere. This project was created by João Pontes - cultural manager and sociologist - with the support and collaboration of CineFronteira.
In the first edition, we had the participation of Nego Bispo, who lives in Piauí (Brazil), and is a cyclist, writer, agricultural worker, poet, and "quilombola" intellectual. This bicycle ride leads the participants to CEVAE Taquaril (communal vegetable garden), where they created a dialogue circle, sharing experiences, knowledge, and dreams.
