RETRATOS FANTASMAS (PORTRAITS FANTÔMES) at the opening of the En ville!

The film was presented as a special screening at the Cannes 2023 Festival.

Synopsis : Portraits fantômes is a multi-dimensional journey through time, film, sound, architecture and urban planning in Recife, the Brazilian capital of Pernambuco. Combining archives, fiction, film extracts and personal memories, this impressionistic journey is both a cartography of the city and a tribute to cinema, which throughout the 20th century was a place of conviviality, a receptacle for dreams, hopes and emotions. In this playful walk, people merge with characters, places with settings, words with dialogues.
