Nothing to do

Juliano Gomes

Brazil

2022

Film

Short Film

Visual and sound essay based on photographs of a rolezinho in a park in Belo Horizonte. Occupation of public space, funk music and personal narratives mix in a rhythmic speculation on archival images. The performance of bodies in public space becomes memory, projection and exchange, through the performative characteristic of narration and the use of voice. A short lyrical exercise investigating a Brazilian (perhaps Minas Gerais) form for the essay film. Inspired by the art of DJs Anderson do Paraíso and Lucas do Taquaril, from Complexo da Serra, Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte.
