born from an idea devised by local filmmakers daniela kallmann and flávia lins e silva, the project changed the way audiences view these iconic beaches.

it focuses on the characters that make up these picturesque locations, their interactions between one and another, and questions the ethics of the subdivisions that have emerged.

with the production sticking to the beautiful beaches of the city, the title loosely translates as 'sand lane', which gives the film unrivalled imagery, whilst the energy of rio can be felt through the sound.

the stories of the characters vary greatly, meeting writers, artists, salesmen, and everyday-people, along the way, whilst questioning whether the beaches of rio are truly nondiscriminatory and democratic places - the trailer for faixa de areia can be seen on this page.
