Experiencing Interruptions?

AMAZONAS SQUARE

The traces of my grandparents' memories, from Abaetetuba to the ruins of the house on Praça Amazonas in Belém, Pará. A poetic and nostalgic account of forgetting and loss, through imagined images and archival footage.

Director Statement

I see documentary and cinema as a strategy for preserving memory, phenomena, places, things, and people. The art of capturing the present through images and sounds, while engaging in dialogue with the past and the future. My space of affection and action is the Amazon, within the field of expanded arts, researching cinema as audiovisual heritage.
