Skin

2021 · 75 min

A quiet, watchful drift past city walls that talk back, equal parts visual pleasure and low hum of civic anger.

Directed by
Marcos Pimentel
Genres
Documentary
Overview
The walls in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte are inundated with painted pictures and words, from stunning murals to old-school graffiti, and from enigmatic cries from the heart to furious cursing. Marcos Pimentel uses his mostly static camera to capture an impressive number of these public statements.
