Workshop with João Salaviza
BoCA SUMMER SCHOOL 2019
Workshop directed by JOÃO SALAVIZA
Spirits, Shadows, Reflections
“Karlon, Russa, Ihjac: a rapper of Cape Verdean origin, a resident of the Aleixo neighborhood, and a young Krahô indigenous. By these meetings I believe today that another cinema is possible. Small families filming and filming. Crossed mise-en-scènes. Memories, resistances, pacts. Aesthetic, discursive and spiritual negotiations. The affections mobilized for the construction of a scene. The Ritual of Cinema.”
The director João Salaviza confronts his last three films (“Russa”, “High Cities of Bones”, “The Dead and the Others”), where he rehearses new ways of thinking, producing, and living Cinema. Participants are also invited to bring out sketches, ideas and maps for future films.
