you're a plant whisperer and for me, it's enough

you’re a plant whisperer and for me, it’s enough studies the materiality of the analog image and the relationship between the musicality of the image and sound, in an attempt to create an introspective atmosphere. The video consists of two monochromatic shots generated using a VHS video mixer, each combining with a figurative image shot on Super 8 film. Treating colour as a conductor of emotions, all the images evoke inaccessibility, perfection and dream, in parallel with a meditative and transcendent soundtrack.

Mãtãnãg, a Encantada

The indigenous woman Mãtãnãg follows the spirit of her husband, dead bitten by a snake, to the village of the dead. Together they overcome the obstacles that separate the earthly world from the spiritual world. Once in the land of the spirits, things are different: other ways govern the supernatural. But Mãtãnãg is not dead, and his soul must return to living with the living. Back in his village and reunited with his relatives, new vicissitudes during a ritual will provide the opportunity for them to once again be alive and dead. Mãtãnãg is based on a traditional history of the Maxakali people. The illustrations for the film were made in a workshop in Aldeia Verde, in the municipality of Ladainha (Minas Gerais).

The Bear Facts

In this animated short, a self-important colonial explorer emerges from a sailing ship and plants a flag on the Arctic ice, as a bemused Inuit hunter looks on. Then the explorer plants another, and another, and another, while the hunter, clearly not impressed that his land has been “discovered,” quietly goes about his business. In this charming and humorous re-imagining of first contact between Inuit and European, Jonathan Wright brings us the story of a savvy hunter and the ill-equipped explorer he outwits.

Strange Fruit

The peaceful daily routine of father and son is interrupted by an encounter of an unfamiliar boy, different from them in color. An allegory to the phenomena of racism as an acquired cultural epidemic, the story discusses the question of the personal conscience of each of us, versus the education we receive from our families and environment. Can we really insist on our personal belief system, when what we must believe in, is dictated to us? The film presents how easily we acquire fear and hatred of foreigners, as well as how easily we might become the "strangers" and "others" ourselves.
