Paradise (2024)

This dynamic video collage, described by its makers as a "popular symphony," captures the soul of Brazil and its inhabitants in words and visuals. The history of this South American country is marked by oppression and defiance, by resilience and solidarity. Music is the motor propelling this rhythmic, often ironic, and sometimes horrifying impressionistic blend of archive and new footage, interviews, voice-overs, commercials, scenes from television series and surveillance camera images.
