INDEPENDENTE WORK (video)

XX – 2002
Video-documentary
A 20 minute video-documentary on women and their ideas on sex. From February 2002 to July 2002 we recorded testimonies on the streets of Belo Horizonte. To make it easier for women to speak on such a polemic/personal subject, we built a cabin and decided to hide the camera behind a double face mirror (although, all the women who chose to go in were, of course, aware of the camera). XX has many of the usual technical limitation that a college project normally does (specially since nobody on the group was familiarized with video technologies and we had to count on the University staff and equipment – and that sometimes meant we did not have proper equipment). And yet it has been selected to and exhibited in many of the most important Brazilian video festivals, including the 2003 edition of VideoBrasil International Electronic Art Festival, and awarded in three national festivals:
> Vitória Cine Video – Critics Choice (video) – 2003
> VII Florianópolis Audiovisual Mercosul – Best Direction (video-documentary) – 2003
> II Varginha Video Festival – Best Video-documentary – 2003

Cercos – 2001
Video-documentary
A documentary comparing two type of confinement systems: monastic life and prisons. Cercos was part of the graduation project of a group friends and I just fell in love with it and joined their incursions into these two different world, yet with so much similarity.

Pick-up, pandeiro e reco-reco – 2001
