People are the territory
O território são as pessoas

by Francesca Faulin

When we speak about territory, we mean more than just land. “The territory is the people, the rest is landscape”, says the director at the end of his documentary “Dispersos pelo centro”. Ten days are not enough to understand the complexity behind a region, a territory; a lifetime is not enough to know someone completely, yet in that tension, that striving to learn, to see the connections, to make meaning, immersing in a different reality, getting to know ourselves better and offering in return our perspective is the beauty of documenting.


OPENING - 29 July - 19:00h

  • Date: 29 July to 20 September 2024
