Francisco Brennand

The documentary is a dive into this universe that Ariano Suassuna built with his Art (work) and his Life. His novels and characters. Your utopias. Your Quaderna, as the driving force behind this mix. Theater performances. Poems. Show classes. Popular culture. The cordel. The rabeca. Brazil and its stones. The Armorial Movement. Their readings and representations. Based on unpublished interviews with artists and friends (family), as well as Ariano himself and a tour of his home, the documentary recreates his universe.

The Pernambuco painter Cicero Dias created an unparalleled art for the world. Close to a modernist and influenced by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger and Joan Miró, he marked the history of Brazilian art.

Francisco Brennand is an eighty-five year odl, painter, sculptor and ceramist from Brazil. He lives and works isolated in an open-air museum set in an old ceramic roofing tile factory that belonged to his father. Based on his diaries, written over the past 60 years, the film narrates the artist's journey from the moment he moved into the factory until today.

Vladimir Carvalho's Cinema of Inequality marked the documentary filmmaker's trajectory over decades of activity. Considered one of the most important Brazilian documentary filmmakers in activity, his images influenced the emergence of Cinema Novo and the new Brazilian documentary years later. Quando a Coisa Vira Outra covers the most important films made by Vladimir, revealing where ideas come from to show the true reality of a country.
