Regenerar:
Possible Sensitizations
In a time of polycrisis, the Regenerate Project was born with the mission of inspiring, generating questions and mobilizing people towards more creative and generative ways of living. More than audiovisual content or meetings, Regenerate is an invitation to transformation, to rethink our relationships with the more-than-human world and ourselves.
​
The platform connects creators, activists, thinkers, artists and community leaders in reflections that intertwine philosophy, psychology, climate emergency, ancestral healings and decolonial issues.
​
Through documentaries, courses, interviews and immersive experiences, Regenerar collectively investigates how to create other sensibilities to deal with a world that is falling apart, while we gain strength to create other worlds, where equanimity, happiness and freedom for all beings is possible.
Who We Are
Ana Clara Cenamo is a psychologist with training in Lacanian psychoanalysis, a geographer, an executive producer, and since 2012, she has studied ancestral worldviews, from which she and her husband, Renato Dias, created the Duo Emanazul Music. In 2014, she founded Spanda Produtora, aiming to create a path for audiovisual projects with a positive impact.

Maria Clara Parente is an artist, journalist, documentary filmmaker, and holds a master's degree in literature from PUC-Rio. She studied communication for transition at Schumacher College and, since 2016, through audiovisual projects, she has researched radical imagination for other ways of inhabiting this planet toward regenerative futures. In 2023, she founded Simbiótica Filmes.
Maria Clara Parente
After Ana Clara and Maria Clara met during the filming and post-production of the documentary series What is Emerging? (2019), directed by Maria Clara Parente and Camila Cardoso, the desire to continue creating projects together emerged.
​
In 2019, Ana Clara and Maria Clara decided to create the feature documentary Regenerar: Caminhos Possíveis em um Planeta Machucado (2022), which investigates, thirty years after Eco-92, other ways of dying, dreaming, and living outside the logics of the Anthropocene. The film premiered at the Rio Film Festival in 2022, won awards such as Best Documentary at OffCine Doc in Spain and Best Film by the Popular Jury at Alter Cine.
From the trajectory of the film, the Regenerar project was born — a platform for audiovisual content that intertwines regeneration, ancestry, and radical imagination from the Global South.
​
In 2024 they started a new documentary, “The Times Are Urgent, Let Us Slow Down”, produced in partnership with Nigerian philosopher Báyò Akómoláfé.
