Solon inhabits a dry, barren space. She begins her mission to nourish the Earth. The landscape and the character herself are changed. The world is born. The woman is born.
“While we are here” mixes fiction, travelogue, film diary and documentary to tell the story Lamis, a Lebanese woman who just moved to New York and Wilson, a Brazilian man living illegally for 10 years in the same city. The film narrates the story of their relationship in a personal way by articulating macro-political issues with intimate ones.
A man caught in the verge of freedom. He penetrates a city where the boundaries between reality and dream disappear. He crosses the landscape without belonging to it anymore. A farewell before departing.
An experimental collective film lasting little more than an hour, compiled from 10 episodes by a total of 14 different young Brazilian filmmakers. The project was an initiative of the directing duo Felipe Bragança and Marina Meliande, who sent a ‘letter of concern’ to inspire the participants. In it, a 16-year-old girl wrote about her dreams, which have been translated by the directors into films about love, youth and the possibilities of cinema.
