Patrimonium is an exploration of time, a film about the noble landed gentry, constantly renegotiating the borders between history and modernity.

Continuação do aclamado documentário “O Ato de Matar”. Aqui, uma família que sobreviveu ao genocídio na Indonésia confronta os homens que mataram um de seus irmãos. Através do documentário de Joshua Oppenheimer, filmando os responsáveis pelo genocídio indonésio, uma família de sobreviventes descobre como é que o filho foi assassinado e a identidade dos homens que o mataram. O mais novo dos irmãos está determinado a quebrar o feitiço de silêncio e medo sob o qual vivem os sobreviventes e, assim, confronta os homens responsáveis pelo assassinato do irmão – algo inimaginável num país onde os assassinos permanecem no poder. Rodado também em 2012, logo após a montagem de “Ato de Matar” (mas antes do seu lançamento), “O Olhar do Silêncio” é uma visão alternativa dos eventos, desta vez sob o ponto de vista das vítimas. Com esta obra, Joshua Oppenheimer ganhou o Grande Prêmio do Júri e Prêmio FIPRESCI no Festival de Cinema de Veneza.

The filmic approach playfully balances on the edge between documentary and fiction, thereby both underlining and adding to the theme of the film. The two directors have filmed Troels for 4 years, capturing all his ups and downs, the defining moments, both the hilarious and the sad. This material will be combined with Troels¿ video diary where we get even closer, and animation that will bring life to Troels¿ text and inner universe in a compelling and humoristic way. The animation is done by the artist Carl Krull whoose very distinctive style matches Troels¿ story and personality, combining darkness and humor, the grotesque and the beautiful. It will be subtly integrated into the filmed material, at times taking over completely. The story of Troels and the visual approach melt together.

Num país onde os assassinos são celebrados como heróis, o realizador e a sua equipa desafiaram os líderes impenitentes dos esquadrões da morte a encenar o seu papel no genocídio. O resultado alucinante é um delirante sonho cinematográfico, um mergulho perturbador nas profundezas da imaginação de assassinos em massa e no chocante regime de corrupção e impunidade banais em que vivem.

A simple can of ravioli propels this spectacular 30,000-kilometre, eight-country journey through all phases of food production and the far flung sources of international ingredients. A dream-like voyage with glimpses of disconcerting realities, the story begins with a single mother toiling in one of the biggest open pit mines in Brazil and ends on the shelf of a grocery store in Finland. Along the way, the workers whose calloused hands mine, raise and harvest each ingredient reveal their dreams and hopes, like the Danish pig farmer who loves his sows but longs for a girlfriend, and the Portuguese tomato picker who wants to stay healthy long enough to pay her daughters way through university. Sumptuous photography and impressive sound design make an eloquent statement about our modern, globalized world, making us aware of the hundreds of invisible people who prepare the food we eat every day. -Gisèle Gordon (HotDocs.ca)
