Aparição

2024 · 20 min

A quiet, intimate documentary that drifts like a remembered story, asking you to watch closely and let visions blur with family memory.

Overview
The story of my grandmother's first encounter with a "caboclo," a spirit rooted in Afro-Brazilian traditions, is passed down from generation to generation. Like an invocation, it becomes the narrative matrix for other visions and accounts, especially among the women in the family. Beyond the visible spectrum, Aparição reflects on vision as a collective sense.
