18 Ius Soli examines issues of race, ethnicity, and national identity in 21st-century multicultural Italy. It includes interviews with 18 young men and women born in Italy to immigrant parents who have attended Italian schools, speak Italian, and see themselves as Italian; however, they are not Italian citizens due to current law. Their struggle for citizenship and recognition has affinities with that of the Dreamers, undocumented young people brought to the U.S. as children. 18 Ius Soli thus offers a unique perspective on not only contemporary Italian society, but also the immigrant movements and activism of "dreamers" around the world.

FoQUE!iu! Fala Que Eh Nois!
The idea of the name "FoQUE!iu! Fala que eh nois!" comes from the English expression Fuck-you, Brazilianizing the vulgar expression to praise the performance of Brazilian surfers and represent the content of the film's images, and Fala que é Nós! it is so that no one forgets who is responsible for this. To keep the line of always showing what the best athletes of the new Brazilian generation are doing in the water, this year's highlight is the new maneuver executed with perfection by Marcos Sifu, specialist in aerials and show man. He presents the Kerrupt Flip to the public, a maneuver invented by surfer Josh Kerr and still little explored in the world. Sifu is the first Brazilian to perform the trick and was praised by international surfers, including the creator of the trick: (This was the most perfect Kerrupt flip I've ever seen!).
