playlist with all my short released on my YouTube channel

Short based on the most recent Amazonian Slowness' episode.

Juá creek (2026). Santarém, Pará, Brazil. Photo taken in April, when the streams and rivers of the Amazon are full; the forest near the bank is swallowed by the waters, forming what we call a floodplain. In this case, it wasn't even possible to see where the other bank was. Furthermore, this photo was taken from a wooden structure built precisely to reach the edge of the stream during the dry season, and to walk on top of the water during the flood months. The stream was so full that I walked about a hundred meters above the waters to reach the "edge" of the stream. The waters of this stream (and most streams) are naturally muddy like this.

This music video for the song "Atravancamento" by Coletivo 91 has just become my second video to surpass 1000 views on YouTube! It went "viral" in the last few days for some reason; it only had about 200 views a few days ago.

Playlist with all the episodes from 4th season released so far.

Waterfront under construction (2026). Santarém, Pará, Brazil. They finally started renovating this part of the waterfront, which had been in a deplorable state for years. This is something I will talk more about in my next film, Mocorongo (Unstranslatable).

Sixth episode from the fourth season of Amazonian Slowness.

Happy birthday Santarém! 365 years of life (or a thousand years, if we consider the indigenous Tapajó people). Here's a photo of its most iconic landmark, Alter do Chão (home of the indigenous Borari people).

I don't know if I had post it here before, but that is a playlist with the Amazonian Slowness shorts only.
