These videos were edited by me in 2006 as part of my graduation project that had something to do with sustainability projects in Brazil, and so on.. but that's another discussion;
I just wanted to post this playlist for now; it has 3 videos that add up to 17 minutes; the last one is longer, about 12' and had to be divided in 2. It is also, the only one with dialogues which are in Portuguese but I'll work on having it subtitled and upload a higher definition file to Vimeo and post it back here)
All the images were taken from the internet; 'sampled and remixed' and put into this 3 chapter narrative; the 1st one is an ode to men, children and women, and to nature; while embedded in the beautiful soft melodies of Milton Nascimento with his song 'Minas' (which not only is the Brazilian state where this singer was born but is also an anagram of his names..); the 2nd film is a quick flyover portrait of Brazilian cities at the rhythm of the amazing drums and beats from Funk n'Lata's song 'Sambadrome' (which, btw, came out in very cool project; Red Hot + Rio)
Third one has interviews with architects Oscar Niemeyer, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, musicians Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, film director Fernando Meireles, among other 'father-figures' of this country's modern culture such as Darcy Ribeiro who said we should "Invent Brazil"... Hope you enjoy it...
