Emiliano Granada World premiering in the Berlinale’s Forum, “Dry Ground Burning” marks the second feature collaboration between directors Joana Pimenta and Adirley Queirós, after Pimenta DP-ed Queirós’ “Once There Was Brasilia.”So it’s no surprise that by this point the directorial couple have refined a common language that in “Dry Ground Burning” delivers a movie that’s stylistically refrained, while walking a fine line between documentary and a fiction with sci-fi and Western overtones.Produced by Cinco Da Norte and Terratreme with Pimenta once again behind the camera, the duo returns to their portrayal of the inhabitants of Ceilandia, a district on the periphery of Brasilia which has been a recurring subject in both filmmakers work. The film follows sisters Chitarra and Léa, leaders of an all female gang who refines oil drawn from an oil pipeline to sell to motor bikers in the Sol Nascente favela.

war between Russia and Ukraine intensifies, one mixed martial arts company has already given the world a taste of what might happen, by pitting a Russian soldier and a Ukrainian “patriot” against each other.And it took place in the snow, right on the Ukrainian border, while gunfire was heard all around them.Organised by the STRELKA street fighting association – which organises bare knuckle fighting outdoors – videos of the fight show the much older Ukrainian landing blow after blow on the young Russia.The latter only managed to get one clear shot in on the bearded winner, and the fight was called off after he was barely able to stand.He was also shown with, what appears to be a broken and bloodied nose at the end of the fight.And for added drama, there was a small crowd of people in attendance, and a lit flare on the ground in the background.The crowd is shown standing on a large tractor, which was seemingly used to move some of the ground snow, so that a fighting area could be made.One of the two camera men can also be seen wearing a bullet proof vest.Although it's unclear who exactly the referee is, the posted of the video on Twitter hinted that it was someone known to the MMA audience. A possible Russian incursion across the border into Ukraine “could be the biggest war in Europe” since the Second World War, Prime Minister Boris Johnson claimed last week.
