Experiencing Interruptions?

Art For What?

A documentary and artistic record in which almost a hundred cultural producers and artists express their views on the purpose of art in a different and sometimes confluent way, giving this repertoire a rich and diverse semantics.

Director Statement

Our filmic look is about people and events of our time, we try to make films that can multiply or look at the world, sometimes in a poetic way, other times in a raw way. In our view, each film has a good gestation time until it is ready, then, after we mature, we can share our fruits with people and let them go their way in the world.
