  1. Dear Jaimie, I’m Patricia Rebello, writing you from Brazil, I’m a fellow researcher on documentary studies at UERJ, University of the State of Rio de Janeiro. I think a discussion over the documentary Apocalypse in the Tropics, by Petra Costa, would be very interesting. I do think the doc has a lot of issues – for better and for worse – but despite it, seems an important point and gesture on the political scenery in Brasil in 2026. It´s healthy when documentary is embraced as a way to ensure the democratic fights. All the best!

      1. Sorry I missed that! And congrats – for the Docalogue, and specially for bringing the Petra film, it´s really very important.
        BTW, I’d recommend, instead, the surreal (in the most beautiful meaning of the word) Mistress Dispeller for 2026. What a world for the documentary filmmaking!
