Back at ACMI Cinemas, Australian Centre for the Moving Image, MELBOURNE FILMOTECA presents:


Still Orangutans
(Ainda Orangotangos)

Dir. Gustavo Spolidoro
Brazil, 2007, 85min
Portuguese w/ English subtitles

Tuesday 2nd September, 7.30pm
ACMI Cinemas, Australian Centre for the Moving Image
Federation Square, Flinders Street, Melbourne

 


Picture this: a scorching summer’s day in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre. Fifteen characters walk around the streets and buildings of this crazy town in perpetual motion, their movements filmed in one continuous, 82-minute take.

This endless shot takes playful delight in its own freedom, with the medium becoming the message and the plot taking something of a back seat. You'll reach the ending of the film with the sensation of having gate-crashed a party where - instead of getting kicked out - you've been encouraged to get merrily drunk with the guests.

This funny and surprising film is the first long-take feature ever made in Brazil!. Music by Arthur de Faria e Seu Conjunto and Damn Laser Vampires.
