The creation of Lumen – Rio de Janeiro’s Independent Film Festival – emerged from distinct paths: the first being a long journey of work in festivals by its founders. It was years spent programming and curating important festivals in the Brazilian scene. In this work, Gabriel Papaléo, Pedro Tavares, and Waleska Antunes, who also worked together in film production, noticed how independent films go through complex paths to reach the Brazilian audience.

As part of this year’s 2025 edition (May 23–25, Berlin), Fracto will be hosting a hands-on workshop on 16mm film and analog experimental practices. Participants will learn to make motion pictures and looping sound with a very economical tool: simple adhesive tape! Unfolding over the course of three mornings, students - armed with film leader, simple adhesive tape and a bucket of water - will learn to “paste” printed matter onto 16mm film frames, each ultimately producing a short loop (approximately ten seconds in length).
