Producers

Pipas Forjaz and Mickey Fonseca have made a significant impact on Mozambique’s film industry, blending artistic vision with cultural pride to tell local stories that resonate globally. Their debut feature, Resgate (2020), was the first film from a Portuguese-speaking African country to be sold to Netflix, gaining international attention with its themes of redemption and survival. Despite opportunities abroad, Forjaz and Fonseca remain committed to developing Mozambican cinema, focusing on local narratives and fostering talent. Their ongoing work continues to elevate Mozambican film on the global stage.
