Gypsy (The)

A deeply personal documentary that follows Benício Bem, a queer artist from Piauí whose music and identity are shaped by the vibrant fusion of Romani heritage and Northeastern Brazilian popular culture. More than a portrait of a performer, the film is an intimate exploration of gender, self-expression, and resistance. In a society where queerness and regional culture are often marginalized, Benício embarks on a symbolic and cosmic journey of affirmation, challenging binary norms, confronting stigma, and reclaiming space as an LGBTQ+ artist in a conservative landscape. Through his voice, body, and artistry, he navigates questions of visibility, belonging, and the spiritual dimensions of identity.

A Cigana é um longa-metragem documental que apresenta o compositor e intérprete Benício Bem, artista piauiense que tem relação direta com a cultura cigana e a cultura popular nordestina. Em uma viagem cósmica em busca de reconhecimento, Benício perpassa por uma reflexão desde as questões de gênero até o estigma do "artista local".
