Obscuro Barroco

Oct 19 2018 N/A 0h 59m
Documentary

A stream of consciousness from Brazil’s underground flows straight into the heart of the city’s street carnival. In between the masks and the make-up, the young, naked and new bodies and a spectacular firework display, people come into view who have undergone a transformation that makes it difficult to clearly ascribe them to any gender.

Plot

In her essayistic film Obscuro Barroco Greek director Evangelia Kranioti explores the poetic words of her transgender narrator Luana Muniz, who is herself an icon of Brazil's queer subculture. Amidst a somnambulistic tide of images she enters the pulsating world of creatures of the night.
