Manoel Costa

Super-8 short film made in Recife and Olinda, Brazil.

In Bahia, in the late '60s, the alienated college student Lula spends his time protesting in the university, but without political orientation, wandering on the streets, smoking grass, trying to be an actor and having sex. Meanwhile, a common young man stalks women on the streets trying to have intercourse with them.

The adventures of a gang of thieves and murderers led by violent Caveirinha. A radical disruption proposal from the postulates of the Cinema Novo, a film with a loose narrative structure. Through the actions of a group of outlaws, the director sews in scenes that propose iconoclasm and elation as forms of opposition to the military dictatorship oppression.

Experimental Super-8 film documenting the making of André Luiz Oliveira's "The legend of Ubirajara" (1975). Shot in the Araguaia River Basin in central Brazil.
