Trade-Off

Every future has a cost

An exiled Russian dancer and two children from Rio's favelas find common ground in ballet. At a decisive audition, their paths split. What is sacrificed for a dream, and who is left to carry the cost?

What we do

Chancela Naccari

A film production company and curatorial studio founded in 2014 in Florianópolis, Brazil. Chancela Naccari develops and produces work, conceives curatorial projects and collaborates with cultural initiatives across Latin America.

A meeting ground between ethics and form, narratives and responsibility, listening and political gesture.

Film production

Developing and producing work, with a particular interest in documentary and in stories about human, cultural and social realities.

Curation

Curatorial projects, programming and circulation strategies that bring together films, audiences and places.

Strategic consulting

Project development, cultural strategy, sustainability and training for projects and organisations.

How we work

Every project begins with choices: what to tell, how to tell it, who to build it with and which responsibilities to take on along the way.

At Chancela, creative work and planning go hand in hand. Attention to people, contexts and processes shapes our aesthetic, production and strategic decisions.
