Synopsis
Miami-Cuba is an audiovisual immersion through the Historic Center of João Pessoa, with brief trips to symbolic places along its shore. In particular, the recently verticalized Altiplano district, where his current urban development project seems to be heading. Its cinematographic device is the occupation of an apartment in the 18th floor building, the first skyscraper and initial landmark of modernization in the capital. Work that also configures a type of sentinel in this central region of the city, listed as a historical heritage shortly after its construction. A performative documentary that walks with pre-researched characters and others who were found in the journey of recordings… Expressive people from the city, known and/or anonymous, who ramble about their urban experiences, resisting, ways of living and living, existing .
The Australian Aborigines (in this film anyway) believe that this is the place where the green ants go to dream, and that if their dreams are disturbed, it will bring down disaster on us all. The Aborigines' belief is not shared by a giant mining company, which wants to tear open the soil and search for uranium.

The earliest surviving celluloid film, and believed second moving picture ever created, was shot by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince using the LPCCP Type-1 MkII single-lens camera. It was taken in the garden of Oakwood Grange, the Whitley family house in Roundhay, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire (UK), possibly on 14 October 1888. It shows Adolphe Le Prince (Le Prince's son), Mrs. Sarah Whitley (Le Prince's mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley and Miss Harriet Hartley walking around in circles, laughing to themselves and keeping within the area framed by the camera. The Roundhay Garden Scene was recorded at 12 frames per second and runs for 2.11 seconds.
