Filmes

69
Director
"69" is an experimental film made from an extensive Super 8 archive filmed by Edmond Conilh de Beyssac, a French aviator. In context, everything was filmed in March of 1969, on a trip to Brazil. The film was transmuted into the idea of Anarchive, a concept created by the philosopher Erin Manning, activated in a process of audiovisual experimentation.
Kopacabana
Director
Film set in the neighborhood of Copacabana, elaborated through a collage of current and archive images (Super 8 and digital). An experimental work narrated by the significant speech of the poet Fausto Fawcett, and sonorized by the musician Arnaldo Brandão.
Tupianas
Director
Super 8 filmed in Brazil during the 70's. It's a reflection about the idea of Tupi, by elaborating a non-linear narrative with a collage of "antropofagic images", presenting the body and space as topology of desires, experimenting the choice in life, and language of the essential, instead of the accessory.
O Signo do Caos
Director of Photography
A customs agent, Dr. Amnésio, examines some reels of film, a documentary Orson Welles made about Brazil, and tries to confiscate the material. Then, a party in which repression agents celebrate their victory against freedom and creativity.
Reinvenção da Rua
Director of Photography
Em Reinvenção da Rua, Helena Ignez assina seu primeiro filme como diretora. É uma homenagem ao arquiteto e artista contemporâneo norte-americano Vito Acconti, que realizara uma intervenção urbana sob um viaduto em São Paulo, transformando aquele espaço para ser aproveitado pela população de rua que vivia nas redondezas.
Navalha na Carne
Still Photographer
Neusa é uma prostituta decadente e explorada por Vado, seu cafetão. Em meio a brigas e desavenças, ela vai às ruas para ganhar dinheiro enquanto Vado sai com outras mulheres e passa a vida sossegado. O que eles não esperavam, era que Veludo, um homossexual que trabalha como faxineiro, roubasse todo o dinheiro deles para comprar drogas.
