Ninguém Solta a Mão de Ninguém!
work-in-progress/ 8 min / Video

The project is a reflection on what it means to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community in Brazil after Bolsonaro’s election. It questions the current social oppressive reality and the marginalization of the community. During the film proccess more questions about my role in all this and the validation of my feelings being a Brazilian living outside the country arose. The film imagery tries to combine the recent election of Bolsonaro (elected president of Brazil) with the concept of being trapped and peripheralized through images of reflections. 

Jair Bolsonaro, has exalted the country’s military dictatorship, advocated torture and threatened to destroy, jail or drive into exile his political opponents. He has legitimized violence around the country, especially directed towards already marginalized groups (so-called “minorities”). The president and his supporters have created this alter-reality which they see as the “real reality”. One could argue that this made up reality has indeed been instituted and has now trapped the skeptics in a reflection of it.

Blurred Lines
2015 / 4 min / Video 

Blurred Lines discuss how much power can emerge from the knowledge of a specific language. It opens a discussion about what can be trusted and how much mistranslation and lack of full understanding can create a completely different experience. 

It is about a connection between control and what’s presented vs inner knowledge; how dependent we are on the language we speak and the culture it is attached to.
