Festival description (Edition: )

Festival start: 16 December 2022 Festival end: 23 December 2022

▪ ▪ Welcome aboard Latin America's first drone film festival ▪ ▪

Thanks to the popularization of camera-mounted drones, independent filmmakers can now reach an aesthetics of mainstream productions, and break with image creation constraints such as never seen before in the history of digital cinema!

A whole new path in the art of moving images is yet to be explored!

NO AR Brazil showcases and awards artists who are resorting to this new device to create breath-taking imagery and innovative visual languages.

Submissions are curated by highly-recognized media professionals from TV, film and photography industries, besides scholars from Brazilian, Canadian, Mexican and French universities. Nominated filmmakers are invited to join the jury board for a debate during the awards ceremony.

Palácio das Artes, a public iconic art venue signed by Brazil’s foremost architect Oscar Niemeyer, located right at the heart of Belo Horizonte, is the regular host of NO AR.
But as Cine Humberto Mauro, the four-decade movie theater located within the palace, could not host our projections due to covid-19 pandemic, NO AR has switched to a joyful online ceremony, which allowed filmmakers from several countries to attend.

Its blasting success gave us a lot of energy to build up a hybrid format (with online and big screen). The effort it takes to deploy such a project , added to the importance the festival has gained, have led us to an important decision: to transform NO AR into a biannual event.

Our purpose is not to be a mere repository of beautiful drone footage. We are here to question the paths that drone can propose to art.

Submissions to NO AR IV are open!
