ACCIDENT

A poem made up of the names of 20 cities from Minas Gerais, Brazil is the rhythmic form of this film open to chance and improvisation. Compelled by the names of these cities, the crew visits each of them for the first time. In its motion of immersion and submersion, the film intertwines two narrative layers – one shaped by the story of the poem and the other by the ordinary events that accidentally happen before the camera in each city. In Accident, perception is open to allow the mingling with the daily life of each place and at the same time ready to select any event that may relate to the poem and reveal how much life is unpredictable and accidental.
