Inside the Mind of Favela Funk

Brazilian Underground Music Culture

A documentary about love and relationships in the world of the extremely popular 'favela funk': pornographic music from Rio de Janeiro's deprived neighborhoods. The film shows the perspective of the favela youth and aims to find the relation between the favela funk lyrics and their personal, daily (love) lives, dominated by a lawless subculture of drug gangs, violence and sex.

INSIDE THE MIND OF FAVELA FUNK gives an insight in the current Brazilian underground music and its corresponding sexual values, but it also shows a search for faith, hope and love.

Nominated for the KNF Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
