MATERIAL BRUTO
2006, Brazil
Ricardo Alves Jr.
Belo Horizonte, Brazil – but the city is impossible to recognise. Away from vibrant urban life, Ricardo Alves Jr. shoots this film together with patients of a psychiatric centre. Without judgement, the film shows how people act out their very own particular world. The digital video images may be raw, left rich in light-dark contrast, but the sound brings unexpected moments of light-hearted joy into the facility. Does the camera offer an opportunity to break free?
