ALMOST ABSENT - Olhar de Cinema – Festival Internacional de Curitiba

Synopsis

“Almost Absent” ultimately refers to the gestures of a generation of films that have originated and developed amid the contexts and aesthetic restrictions of the pandemic. While elaborating these elements, the film also explores how our screen-mediated reality affects our way of looking at the world, and in what way this gaze allows us to reflect upon cinema. (B. G.)
