Experiencing Interruptions?

SCHOOL OF MACHOS

A mysterious and rather shady school, a mix of secret society and reformatory, trains good men to take part in Brazilian society.
The main character, The Teacher, imposes, through a military-like system, the rules of ideal male behavior. In this school, repression is used to form “good citizens” with no personal identity to obey without questioning the system.
However, under the uniforms of the supposed macho apprentices, there is latent eroticism that arouses their curiosity and leads them to temptation. A parallel reality of imagination and desire is revealed, taking them in the opposite direction of the school's conservative principles.
Open enrollment. It's play time!

Director Biography - Levi Campos

Levi Campos is an actor, singer performer, dancer, director, producer and choreographer nationally awarded in Brazil. By the pseudonym "LEVI Prince of Discord" releases his single and movie "SCHOOL OF MACHOS".
Created by renowned professionals of the state of Ceará, it's the first Brazilian pop content in which men dance nearly naked (usually a feature artistically explored by women).

The project questions the spaces of masculinity in all social aspects, uniting political and social discussions with the touch of humor and memes that only Brazilians have. Twenty-two (22) men including dancers, digital influencers and actors take part in the unprecedented cast.

Levi has worked with important Brazilian audiovisual and urban pop music teams: "Criativo Gato Preto", "Surreal Hotel Arts", "Terravista Filmes", "KRU! Produtora", "Rua Zero" and EDNOBEAT.
He was part of the casts of "Miss Brazil 2014" (BAND TV), "Broadway Brasil" (Broadway Dreams Foundation/ Caixa Cultural) 2016 and 2017, and appeared in soap operas on GLOBO and RECORD TVs.

Director Statement

For me, making SCHOOL OF MACHOS was about understanding how complex, difficult and urgent it is to deal with the ego of Brazilian men. We are brought up under pressure to deliver a superiority that makes us weak and unresolved. But I wanted to unite all the contradictions that represent us through humor and provocation, which is what makes this film so unique.

Translating and adapting this context to each of the subtitled languages (ENGLISH / SPANISH / FRENCH / ITALIAN) in their different social realities has been a worldwide immersion and learning experience.
