Awards at Filmambiente 2025 / Rio de Janeiro

Last Wednesday, 3 September, Filmambiente – the Rio de Janeiro International Environmental Film Festival – held the awards ceremony and closing event for its 14th edition at Cinema Estação Net Rio.

We are immensely grateful to the curators, organisers and jury of the festival’s Brazilian feature film section, who awarded “Mãos à Terra” the Best Editing Award, to Sérgio Guidoux and Bruno Carboni, and the Special Honourable Mention Award. We would also like to thank the audience who attended and awarded “Mãos à Terra” the Best Film Award by Popular Vote.

HONOURABLE MENTION for the exquisite research and script, and for the recovery and reorganisation of part of the history of Brazilian ecology, its struggles, defeats and victories.

BEST EDITING for its skilful narrative structure of the agroecological and regenerative history of southern Brazil, bringing to light key facts and figures essential to understanding the struggles currently taking place in the country today.
