Filming In The Hood

The documentary features narratives from four audiovisual production collectives on the outskirts of the South Zone of São Paulo - Grajaú, Vila Missionária, Cidade Ademar and Capão Redondo. With half-broken cameras, improvised tripods, PVC pipes and cell phones to capture audio, they tell the stories of their territories and the challenges of making movies on the outskirts of São Paulo.
