The children recount the story that they have learnt and the filmmaker invites her 10 year old daughter to join her to interview the children and ask them questions about their relationships with colours, including questions related to the philosophy of colour, a subset of the philosphy of perception, particularly exploring the idea of Qualia – the subjective feeling that you have on the inside when you see a colour. The children also explore what it means to evangelise another child. The film provides an insight into one of the ways that evangelsim is being propagated and opens out into a reflection on the philiosphical insights of children and their capacity to deeply understand the world and each other. The involvement of the filmmaker´s own daughter provides a bridge, whilst also reflects on the ethical challenges of making documentaries involving children, especially where world views are being questioned.

The film opens with an exporation of the diverse definitions and origin of the word Drone, as defined in the Merriam-Weber dictionary, using images from popular culture and sound to provoke a relection on how words are embedded in culture. This opening ends with the final definition a) the male honey bee that has the sole aim of mating with the queen, leading into two deeply intimate stories from the filmmaker and her younger friend interveaving dorne footage and personal (current) arquive footage. A raw, intimate and critical visual essay that reflects on the contemporary search for love, belonging and physical and emotional security on the backdrop of an increasingly unpredictable and violent world.

I discover that living on a cruise ship costs less than a nursing home and that this new way of life is becoming popular among some middle-class seniors. When I came across an advertisement for the inaugural voyage of the world's first residential cruise ship, focusing on "ordinary people," not the super-rich, I decided to spend some time on board, interviewing the elderly residents. The Pioneers is an observational-participatory film that takes as its starting point the stories of people who, at the end of their lives, decide to trade everything they've accumulated for a 3m2 cabin on the high seas. From an opera singer who sang with Palácios Domingos, to a former CIA agent with the onset of Alzheimer's, to a Nobel Prize winner; to an elderly truck driving couple who transported dangerous cargo between states in the US until well into their 70s. The accumulated experiences of the elderly people on board are extraordinary, fascinating, and fantastical, intertwined with a common desire to rid themselves of all worldly goods, to live in the present, and continue adventuring around the world. As we hear these extraordinary life stories, we will accompany how this group of people adapt to life on board, plotting daily adventures and overcoming the&nbsp;conflicts of daily life. Until one day, a story about&nbsp;the&nbsp;onboard morgue triggers an existential crisis among some of&nbsp;the&nbsp;passengers.

This observational documentary restricts our experience to the four walls of the workshop rooms and the knowledge and information and reactions shared within. Only escaping at the end to film a dream ball, where the participants dress up and enbody their favourtie dream characters, a traditional end to the confeerence. The film reveals the potential of dream analysis for individual and collective reflection and the relationship with the unconsicouss world in a cross-cultural environment that explores range of approaches and understandings of the dream world. https://racheldaisyellis.com/Films-Released Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:35:03 +0000 Rachel Daisy Ellis https://racheldaisyellis.com/Films-Released Films | Released /Eros, documentary, 108mins, 2024&nbsp;/Mini Miss, documentary, 15mins, 2018 <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/422fc9b16bed3962c00484b4ff43b9824a10b2d3ff9a44856032ff23f70457af/Eros-still-007.png" data-mid="223746515" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/422fc9b16bed3962c00484b4ff43b9824a10b2d3ff9a44856032ff23f70457af/Eros-still-007.png" /> EROS&nbsp; dir.rachel daisy ellis 2024 | brasil | 108 mins&nbsp; production companies | Desvia,&nbsp; PonteProducers | Dora Amorim, Rachel Daisy Ellis WITH | Marlova Dornelles &amp; Andrade, Gabriel Soares &amp; Hagar, Joana &amp; José dos Santos, Ale Gaúcha &amp; friends, Fernanda Falcão &amp; Ribersson, Barbara Drummond, Luis de Basquiat, Rachel Daisy Ellis EDITING | Matheus Farias, Edt DIRECTING ASSISTANTS | David Moura, Everton Federico, Hellyda Cavalcante RESEARCHERS | Victoria Alves, Bruna Leite, Chico Ludemir, Chico Ludemir, Vanessa Forte, Maria Clara Escobar, Fernanda Luá, Tainã Aynoã dos Santos Barros, Mayara Sanchez, Laura Dornelles SOUND DESIGEN | Nicolau Domingues, Mauricio d´Orey.&nbsp;FUNDING | ANCINE FSA, BRDES &amp; LEI PAULO GUSTAVO Download Eletronic Presskit here SYNOPSIS Eros delves into the depths of one of Brazil’s most notorious and cherished institutions: The Love Motel. An integral part of the urban landscape and the daily life of Brazilians, Motels are associated with erotic transgression, but also with romantic love. Through intimate and at times erotic footage, filmed by the participants themselves, Eros presents ten stories from within the four walls of 10 different motel suites. The compilation of stories provides a prism into the unique and singular ways in which people conduct their intimate and romantic relationships and how these behaviors reflect on broader social norms and realities. The film reflects on the immense diversity that exists in ways of relating, questioning preconceived ideas, provoking the spectator to reflect on their own ideas about intimacy &amp; romantic love.FESTIVALS 27ª Mostra de Cinema de Tiradentes, BrazilCPH:DOX Next:Wave competition, DenmarkXIX Panorama Coisa de Cinema, Salvador, BrazilMostra de Cinema Contemporâneo do Nordeste, Bahia, BrazilPrismatic Ground, NYC, USA.FestincineJP, Joao Pessoa, BrazilFestival Ecrã, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,Queer Lisboa - Festival Internacional de Cinema Queer, PortugalInconvenient Films (Nepatogus Kinas), LithuaniaPorn Film Festival Berlin, GermanyXV Janela Internacional de Cinema, Recife, BrazilPornfilmfestival Amsterdã, The NetherlandsDoc Point Tallin, EstoniaDoc Point Helsinki, FinlandMICE - Mostra Internacional de Cinema Etnográfico - best ethnographic film, SpainBrussels Porn Film Fest, BelgiumLover´s Film festival, Italy - Special Mention Guarra Film festival, Argentina Film Kunst Festival, Kunst, Switzerland Festival Quito Erótico, Ecuador Transcinema, Lima, Peru SPECIAL SCREENINGS Casa do Comum, Lisbon, Porutgal Mise en Scene, Lisbon, Portugal MAM - Museu de Arte Moderna, RJ, Brazil <img width="2048" height="858" width_o="2048" height_o="858" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/641770611cde31b36c0aba3a401e61b895f027ff4549fa8f3068c96923e48eb5/MINI-MISS_1_rachel-ellis.jpg" data-mid="223762945" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/641770611cde31b36c0aba3a401e61b895f027ff4549fa8f3068c96923e48eb5/MINI-MISS_1_rachel-ellis.jpg" /> MINI MISS dir. rachel daisy ellis2018 | Brazil | 16mins PRODUCTION COMPANY | DesviaPRODUCERS | Rachel Daisy Ellis &amp; Gabriel Mascaro CINEMATOGRAPHY | Pedro Urano &amp; Camilla&nbsp;EDITOR | Rachel Daisy Ellis, Pedro Melo &amp; Eva RandolphSOUND | Victoria Franzan, Mauricio d'Orey &amp; Jeff Mandú FUNDINGFuncultura (Pernambuco State Audiovisual Fund) .

The most recent film I producer, The Blue Trail by gabriel mascaro, won a silver bear special jury award at the Berlinale (2025).

I was born in the UK and moved to Recife, Brazil in 2004 where I have lived and worked since, and where my practice as a filmmaker developed.&nbsp; BACKGROUND I studied poltical science and spanish as an undergraduate degree which involved spending a year living in Ecuador, where I immersed herself in sustainable livlihoods projects with an NGO in Quito and developed skills in participatory methodologies for public policy and social and economic development. I went on to do a Masters in Social Policy and Planning in Developing Countries at the LSE in London for which I was awarded a distinction and then worked for two years as a consultant with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bangkok. In 2004 I moved to Brazil to coodinate an international NGO supporting projects in North and Northeast Brazil with a focus on human rights, sustainable livelihoods, sexual and reproductive health and the rights of disabled people. During my two years at the organisation I organised the first national conference on disability and sexual and reprouctive rights. In 2006 I set up the project FotoLibras that is a participatory photography project with young deaf people and became a reference nationwide with exhibitions in Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia &amp; beyond,&nbsp; reaching hundereds of young deaf people and involved publishing a Manual for implementing participatory photography projects with deaf people. The project continues to this day under the coordiantion of the young deaf people who went through the project more than a decade ago.&nbsp; During my time running the project I also co-cordinated the first national conference on participatory photography and art education, held in Recife invovling over a hundred teachers and practitioners in the area of participaptory approaches to art/eduation. In 2010 I conducted the mirrowed waters project, conducting pinhole photography workshops withcommunities along the San Francsico River (https://espelhodagua2015.wordpress.com/). Also in 2010 I co-founded Desvia with director/artist Gabriel Mascaro with a desire to work on film projects with strong artistic visions that provoke debate and reflection on contemporary issues whilst pushing the boundaries of cinematographic form.&nbsp; The first film that I produced was Domestica, (Housemaids) directed by Gabriel Mascaro, that premiered in Competition at IDFA in 2012. In the same year she also produced the short EBB &amp; FLOW, which she cowrote and involved a group of young deaf people that she worked with at the FotoLibras project. The film&nbsp; also premiered at IDFA. At this time I also coordinated the produciton of a colletanea of articles inspired by the filme Housemaids including international authors. As well as a resource for teachers to use in schools after screenings of the film to assist with discussions about the issues and themes rasised by the film.&nbsp; I went on to produce the next four films directed by Gabriel; August Winds (Locarno competition 2014), Neon Bull (Venice Orrizonti Jury Award, 2015), Divine Love (Sundance World Competition. 2019, Berlinale Panorama), The Blue Trail (Berlinale Grande Jury Award, 2025). She has cowriter credits on August Winds, and Divine Love. During this time I also coproduced several films including Rojo by Benjamin Naishtat (San Sebastian, 2018), Prayers for the Stolen by Tatiana Huezo (Un Certain Regard, Cannes, 2021), Legua by Filipa Reis &amp; João Miller Guerra (Quinzainne des Realisateurs, 2023). I also produced the short film Peixe by artist Jonathas de Andrade that was in the São Paulo Bienale in 2016. All the 15 films produced by me have premiered in A festivals around the world, been distributed commercially and&nbsp; received critical acclaim. I am graduate of EAVE - European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs Network (2018).&nbsp; In 2018 I premiered my first film as a director, the short documentary Mini Miss, at True/False film festival, that went on to over 40&nbsp; festival and won several awards. In 2024 I released my first feature length doucmentary EROS that premiered at CPH:DOX in the Next:Wave competition for new filmmakers and went on to more than 20 festivals. PRACTICE Over the last 20 years my work has traverssed grassroots socio-economic development, intra-organizational learning of large institutions, participatory photography with young deaf people and filmmaking; producing, writing and more recently directing. My work as a film producer started with a strong focus on how films can be tools for social change and political reflection and a commitment to positive social change and inter-cultural understanding permeates all my work. As I have transitioned into directing, the diverse threads of my previous work and experiences have drawn together organically and are reflected in my practice. The filmmaking process and how that process is transcribed within the moving image is at the core of my work. &nbsp; I have been a creative producer and writer for 15 years and in 2017 decided to start directing. My authorial work has been slowly emerging over the past few years, underpinned by a constant curiosity and desire to explore the relationship between individuals and social institutions and the ways that artistic practices – both participatory and observatory - can be used to reveal engrained social dynamics. My films explore the human, and often intimate, side of institutionalised, heterotopic spaces, places that are often marginalized in daily life, yet so integrated into society that their influence on us relationally goes unperceived. But when they are viewed through the lense of a filmic device/apparatus that sheds a new light on the space and the way people relate to each other, the places can be reimagined, and we are confronted with a new expanded understanding of our relationship to them. I am also deeply interested in how participation of people in the filmming process can potentialize these dynamics and revelations. The films are raw, intimate and often erotic. The integration of my academic and professional background into my creative practice has been key to me understanding my motivations as a filmmaker. It is an intersection that has clicked into place in the last few years and has provided me with a solid framework for developing my artistic ideas.
