Fillos do Vento: A RAPA has been officially nominated for the Immersive Competition at the 2025 Festival de Cannes.

Synopsis: In the village of Sabucedo, Spain, the Rapa das Bestas unfolds: a raw ritual where villagers and wild horses collide in a test of strength and memory.

Seven years in the making, Fillos do Vento: A RAPA places viewers inside the curro, where dust, breath and tension blur the line between tradition and extinction. A modern-day Quixote story, as wind-farms creep over the surrounding hills, the work challenges audiences to feel the fight for cultural survival in an age of rapid change.  

This documentary is not meant to be watched but inhabited, a sensorial call to witness what is at stake when culture, nature and modernity collide.

This immersive experience places audiences at the center of the action, enveloping them in the intensity, the struggle, the connection, and  movement. Using cutting-edge 270-degree projection mapping, 8K visuals, ambisonic sound, and interactive storytelling, this multisensory experience dissolves the boundary between observer and participant.

Feel the pounding hooves, hear the breath of the horses, and step into the misty Galician landscape. Audiences don’t just watch the Rapa—they live it.
