There, he becomes entangled in an intimate yet unbalanced relationship with two inhabitants of the city, Diara and Gui. As neo-colonial dynamics among the expatriate community unravel, this fragile bond becomes his only refuge from an impending collapse into solitude or barbarism.
Coragem is joined in the cast by Cape Verdean Portuguese actress Cleo Diára (Diamantino, Mulheres, às Armas) and artist and actor Jonathan Guilherme.
Pinho was previously in Cannes with debut feature film The Nothing Factory, which premiered in Cannes Directors' Fortnight in 2017, receiving the Fipresci Prize.
'This road, financed by the World Bank and constructed by a Brazilian Chinese consortium, is meant to bridge two opposing landscapes: the arid solitude of the desert and the dense, animistic abundance of the jungle. But beyond economic ambition, it ultimately remains a rupture scar in a territory that resists being tamed,' says Pinho.
'At its heart lies the never-ending 'encounter' between Europe and Africa, contrasted with an elusive battle for a queer becoming, played out in the nightclubs, streets, and backrooms of a West African city. Within this often violent fight for identity transcendence, one might glimpse escape routes, the possibility of radical subversion, or the surviving traces of tenderness,' he added of the film.
The film is produced by Uma Pedra no Sapato (Grand Tour, Légua) and Terratreme Films (Nothing Factory, in co-production with Still Moving in France (Baby, Tiger Stripes), Bubbles Project in Brazil (Loveling, Puan) and deFilm in Romania (To the North).

Jil Sander Drops Vinyl LP by Bochum Welt Ahead of Simone Bellotti Debut
AsSimone Bellottiprepares to present his debut forJil Sanderon September 24, the brand's new creative director hasn't shared any teasers of the forthcoming collection just yet. Instead, he has focused the brand's communications on his special musical project in collaboration with electronic artistBochum Welt. Following the release of a Hamburg-set music video for the track 'Wanderlust,' the brand has officially released Welt's JS EP on vinyl and streaming services. In an earlier statement, Jil Sander said, 'Simone Bellotti chose music for his first JIL SANDER project, exploring a tool that entices and expresses emotions.' Distilling Jil Sander's 'dual essence' of 'rigor and abandon,' Bochum's 11-track EP features a mixture of ethereal ambient, IDM (indie dance music), and experimental house. Simone Bellotti's collaboration with the musician is deeply inspired by the brand's Hamburg roots. Founded in 1968, Jil Sander's EP evokes the advent of electronic music pioneered by German artists like Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. The musical movement coincides with the development of Jil Sander's signature design aesthetic, combining late 20th-century power dressing codes and modern minimalism. Bochum Welt's debut was released via Aphex Twin's Rephlex label in 1994, the same year Jil Sander's first showroom opened in Milan, which eventually became the creative and operative headquarters of the company. Jil Sander's Bochum Welt JS EP is available now on vinyl at the brand's stores and web shop, as well as on all streaming platforms.

Roman Reigns Is Taking Leave Of Absence From WWE
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Roman Reigns has been brutally attacked and written off WWE television. The closing segment of the August 4th episode of Monday Night Raw saw the former champion destroyed by the new faction led by World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. The on-screen assault is the storyline reason for Reigns' upcoming hiatus from the company. He is reportedly set to begin filming a major role in a Hollywood movie. A Brutal Post-Main Event Ambush The show's main event saw Seth Rollins defend his World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight, which ended in a disqualification after an attack from CM Punk. This led to a post-match brawl where Rollins' allies, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, helped him lay out both Punk and Knight. As the trio stood tall, Roman Reigns' music hit. Reigns stormed the ring to even the odds, but the numbers game was too much. Rollins blindsided Reigns with a Stomp, which was followed by a devastating spear from Breakker. The assault culminated with Bronson Reed delivering three of his signature Tsunami splashes to the fallen Reigns as the show went off the air. Time Off For Hollywood This violent write-off serves a real-world purpose. It has been widely reported by outlets like Deadline that Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa'i) has been cast in a significant role as the iconic villain Akuma in the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie. The film's production schedule requires him to be away from the weekly demands of WWE television for an extended period. While no official return date has been announced, Reigns is currently advertised for the Survivor Series premium live event in November.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - JANUARY 28: Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens wrestle during the WWE and Universal Championship match during the WWE Royal Rumble event at the Alamodome on January 28, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. More Alex BierensMore news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A New "Tribal Chief"? This recent heroic act from Roman Reigns signals a potential major character shift for the former "Tribal Chief." After a dominant, multi-year run as WWE's top villain, he suffered a humbling loss to his legendary rival, John Cena, at SummerSlam this past weekend. That loss, combined with his actions on Raw, suggests that Reigns may be transitioning into a new babyface role upon his eventual return from his filming commitments. For now, however, Monday Night Raw belongs to Seth Rollins and his new, ruthless faction. Their "Ruse of the Century" at SummerSlam saw Rollins steal the World Heavyweight Title, and their destruction of Roman Reigns just two nights later is a clear and dominant statement that a new empire is in control.
