Experimental Brasil: Don't Limit Your Imagination.
Cinema is surprising us less and less. Warm screenplays. Themes approved by everyone. Surprises are not expected. Surprises are not welcome. A standard soundtrack for every genre. A standard cinematography. Standard editing. If you have seen and heard one, you have seen and heard them all. Even in the independent circles, this is the rule. You won't find trailblazers producing wild dreams, but anemic cow breeders milking air and peddling lies with aspartame. Our work is scattered here and there, in events not made for us and created by organizers who see experimental cinema as something lesser. The purpose of Experimental Brasil is to gather quality Experimental Films and showcase them to a truly captivated audience, in an alternative setting that matches the festival's proposal. An EXCLUSIVELY Experimental film festival, made by those who make and breathe Experimental Cinema.
Experimental Brasil embraces artistic courage and innovation, providing a platform for filmmakers who challenge the norms and push the boundaries of cinematic expression. We focus exclusively on various styles of experimentalism, celebrating the diversity of creative experimentation in the world of cinema.
We invite filmmakers from all corners of the globe to join us on this journey of imaginative exploration. Whether you're an experienced professional or a debut artist, Experimental Brasil offers a space where your unique ideas can shine. We believe in the power of boundless creativity, and we welcome submissions that represent the myriad ways artists can experiment and redefine the possibilities of storytelling through film.
Experimental Brasil is not just a festival; It's a call to all filmmakers who dare to dream beyond the ordinary, who refuse to be confined by conventions, and who embrace the beauty of artistic experimentation.
The reality of registrations.
The script is a fever dream by Neil Gaiman. The lead actress surprised everyone. From an amateur, she turned into a monster of dedication and drew a few tears from the crew. The cinematography seems to have been born out of one of Greenaway's finest moments. To cut costs, you learned to edit, and it turned out so well that your friend, the real editor, gave you a congratulatory hug. The soundtrack is almost Greenwood-esque. The direction could have been better but was far from bad. There are several possibilities for awards. It should be so, but it isn't. The vast majority of festivals will charge not only the festival entry fee for your film but will also charge a separate fee for each subcategory you want your film to compete in. This means that the excellent quality of your work as a whole can go almost completely unnoticed if you can't afford so many registrations. The organizers of Experimental Brasil have already been through this. They know how wrong this is and have decided that one entry is enough to make your film compete in all subcategories
