Balomania

In Balomania, a secret society of giant hot air balloon makers in Brazil's favelas risk everything to create and fly their illegal masterpieces.

Treated as delinquents, these ‘baloeiros’ operate underground like street artists, bringing joy to their communities while evading government threats and bounty hunters.

Danish Graffiti artist-turned-filmmaker Sissel Morell Dargis shares her initiation into the balloon brotherhood, where launching silk paper creations becomes an act of social redemption and collective dreaming.
