L7NNON's 'Guerras Invisíveis' turns rap into an 18-minute dystopian film

A collaboration between production companies Sweet Filmes and KondZilla and the agency Africa Creative, connecting the artist's music, performance and cinematic narrative in a single film.

Directed by Kaique Alves and Thiago Eva with creative direction by Insana Duo and concept by Africa Creative. New arrangements by Orquestra Novo Traço under musical direction of Rafaello Ramundo and audio by A-Gandaia tie the songs to the story's progression; violence, mental health and life on the city's margins inform a narrative pairing a conflict-ridden environment with an intimate perspective on its character.

Nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards (2026); an English version was released on Vimeo to bring the Brazilian story to new audiences.

Guerras Invisíveis (Invisible Wars) is L7NNON's musical short — approximately 18 minutes connecting the artist's music, performance and cinematic narrative — produced by Sweet Filmes and KondZilla, with concept by agency Africa Creative, creative direction by Insana Duo, and direction by Kaique Alves and Thiago Eva.

The film takes place in a dystopian Rio de Janeiro, using war as a metaphor for internal struggles. Violence, mental health and life on the city's margins inform a narrative that combines a conflict-ridden environment with an intimate perspective on its character. New arrangements by Orquestra Novo Traço, under the musical direction of Rafaello Ramundo, and audio by A-Gandaia connect the songs and support the story's progression.

The production was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. Executive producer Kako Tufano framed the ambition as 'a film that matched the power of rap: a work in which music, imagery and emotion carried equal weight', and the nomination as a chance to bring the Brazilian story to new audiences — an English version of the film was released on Vimeo.

The collective production model — two production companies, an agency, an orchestra and the artist — pools disciplines that a standard music video keeps separate.

Orchestral arrangements turn a rap repertoire into through-composed score, letting the story's dramatic continuity, not the track list, set the pace.

The dystopian frame lets social reality enter as genre: Rio's margins are depicted through a fictional war metaphor rather than documentary literalism.

When an artist's world is too big for singles, one long-form film gives music, image and emotion equal weight — and awards platforms have a category waiting for it.

As of September 2026 the film was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, with an English version on Vimeo; Roastbrief covered the collaboration as a case in collective production.
