Chance and irony, watchword and chaotic order of chance, anticapitalism in cries of the collective in motion contrasting with the blasé movement of individualism.

In the vibrant space of images, the gods come towards us by a cry or by a face.

Intersections between nature, painting, photography and cinema in search of a poetic that expresses the passage of time that sculpturally immobilizes in the petrification of the human as landscape.

In a corporeal ballet, the images play with the movements of counterattack, resistance and rebellion, trying to answer to current global and local crisis.

A short film by duo strangloscope.

Time Gap addresses the birth of the image, resuming the film negative as a skin of inscription to expose and try to exhaust its possibilities of fraying through digital technology. The film was made in Detroit, the birthplace of the auto industry, an iconic city of American capitalism and which today is in deep decline.

The excessive images of violence that comes to us during the pandemic blocks the desire, the will, a resilience that is already exhausted of strength. The film resumes artistic creation as a way of joining together in the fight against genocidal racist fascism.

Nature produces vision. The gaze, like a boat, wanders, guided by the leaves of the trees against the sky. The images of an easily observable commonality, which was once commonplace at first glance, make the journey an encounter with a nature that is both close and distant. A landscape in extinction, a wandering gaze in an increasingly unlikely act: seeing what moves around. Walden Street is a road movie suspended in time by how we look at screens.

Parking. Time of wonder and discovery, echoes and recognition of the other, the space and the times that preserve the secret of things and its perfection. Life, to amaze thyself with images, art of composition and edition, love

To break with the logic of a historicist and positivist narrative, from the delirium, the mystical and the daydream. To search in the same cinematic experimentalism adventure, a time space image where the Angelus Novus is a call to risk and break with the linear logic of overwhelming conving story-telling. "For the incredible!" - Shouts the Angelus Novus. Performance instead of acting and digital images enlarged and experimentally shot and edited.

"Here Where It All Ends" is an experimental, poetic short film that moves between documentary and fiction to address an endangered culture, that of indigenous people in the Brazil. It is, in particular, a sharing of knowledge carried out in Aldeia Bugio, at all stages of 16mm filming, botanical development and sound capture in a collective way. It seeks to reactivate the memory of the origins of the Laklãnõ/Xokleng people.
