Lincoln Péricles (LK) is from Capão Redondo, on the southern outskirts of São Paulo, Brazil. He creates films in his community and other territories of great significance to his people. His work, which blends elements of Hip Hop culture, documentary, and cinematic experimentation, was highlighted in 2020 by Cahiers du Cinéma, which described it as "a cinema far removed from the imagery linked to the favelas, inventing its own form, rough and necessarily imperfect, between intervention and the visual archive of the territory". He is a member of the film collective Astúcia Filmes.
