The Sandcastle Takeover (2025)
We'll bother you. Don't even try to downplay us.
Located in the heart of University of São Paulo's School of Communication and Arts, the Prainha ('Little Beach') is the epicenter of students' artistic, cultural, political and social endeavors. But once the university demands its closure for structural and aesthetic renovations — a controversial project in and of itself —, the response is an outcry of mourning and frustration. The documentary explores different experiences from people whose work and passions were born in the history of the Prainha, and what are the hopes for the future of the space.
