Alice

Director Gabriel Novis / 2025 / Brazil

An evocative portrait of trans Brazilian surfer, skateboarder and artist Alice Barbosa as she builds her identity in a country fraught with prejudice and violence.

Brazilian filmmaker Gabriel Novis delivers a gorgeously cinematic celebration of his childhood friend and co-writer using vibrant celluloid, dream sequences, and freewheeling scenes of surfing and skating to capture Barbosa’s unbowed spirit as she finds solace in a country notorious for having the highest rate of murder committed against transgender people in the world.
