Acafilmes Announces Dual Cinematic Ventures: New Suspense Short Starring Christiane Tricerri and Feature Film “FIRE” with Ricardo Baptista
(WorldFrontNews Editorial):- Sao Paulo , Sao Paulo May 4, 2026 (Issuewire.com) – Acafilmes, the vanguard of Brazil’s “cinema of invention,” is proud to announce two major upcoming productions led by visionary producer Alexandre Alonso. These projects mark a significant expansion of the company’s slate, bridging the gap between high-concept suspense and raw, independent feature filmmaking.
A New Vision of Suspense: Untitled Project with Christiane Tricerri
Acafilmes has officially entered production on a groundbreaking suspense short film starring the legendary icon of Brazilian stage and screen, Christiane Tricerri (The Passion According to G.H., Anarquistas, Graças a Deus).
The project, described as a “transmedia experience,” explores the psychological fractures of its protagonist through a radical lens. Featuring the atmospheric cinematography of Jonas Malferrari, the film promises to challenge traditional narrative structures.
“Our work thrives on friction,” says Alexandre Alonso. “By bringing together the immense talent of Christiane Tricerri and the visual mastery of Malferrari, we are creating a project that refuses to be ignored. We are using the resources of the center to feed the fire of the margins.”
“FIRE”: A New Feature Film Starring Ricardo Baptista
Simultaneously, Alonso has greenlit the highly anticipated feature film titled FIRE. The film stars Ricardo Baptista, marking a significant collaboration for Acafilmes’ next wave of production.
Following the international success of the company’s recent feature The End, which is currently touring the global festival circuit, FIRE is set to further cement Acafilmes’ reputation for “cinema of invention.” The film will blend high-concept aesthetics with the uncompromising energy of guerrilla filmmaking to provoke and redefine the boundaries of independent cinema.
