A Film to Remind Us of Utopia

In Esdras Baptista's film archives, kept at his home for decades, one can feel the fervor of those who believed in a new tomorrow. Filmed in Brazil in the early 1960s, in the heat of a libertarian political movement, the filmmaker's images materialize the incandescence of collective desires at the historic moment of their emergence. Utopia, though unattainable, is never a mere abstraction. A force that mobilizes actions and feelings, it constitutes the impetus necessary for human existence.

He Who Saw the Abyss

The gun pointed at the head is a delirium that expands into disorderly controlled chaos. “He Who Saw the Abyss” by Gregorio Gananian and Negro Leo, is like a car that enters the curve at 300km/h, but slowly. In an experimental whirlwind, moving between a noisy sound and an almost idyllic musicality, the film is structured out of a pile of images that seem as intimate as they are delirious, accelerating into a trance that is fragmented by a montage, signed by João Dumans and Gregorio Gananian, who strive to articulate an intense experience on the big screen.
