O Menino, o Sabiá e o Rato

2021 · 11 min

A quiet, contemplative sit with a man and a screen, asking you to listen closely to thoughts drifting through his mind.

Overview
Dedicated to Robert Bresson, the short film focuses on a man on a wheelchair before TV images. In his mind, quotes from the book Notes on the Cinematographer reverberate.
