Extracts

About This Movie

Extracts (2019) is this fascinating documentary that stitches together a visual tapestry from the early '70s, focusing on life in cities like Rio and London. The footage, shot during a politically charged period, really captures the essence of the artists’ exile – it’s raw, fragmented. You can feel the tension of the military dictatorship lurking just beneath the surface. The pacing is unhurried, almost poetic, allowing you to absorb each stark image. Helena Ignez and Rogério Sganzerla’s work here feels like a personal diary, offering insights into their psyche and the world around them. It’s not just about what you see, but what’s unsaid, the atmosphere they create is thick with emotion.

Captures the essence of exile and resistance. · Features significant historical context. · A personal and artistic approach to documentary filmmaking.
