Rite of Passage

This party is my life Accompanying a dawn near Piteco, personality of the Recôncavo da Bahia, this film records from another angle the famous and awaited Festa da Nossa Senhora D'Ajuda, in Cachoeira. The intimacy of the conversation, the care of the makeup, the adjustments to the costumes… everything makes this film a precious and delicate portrait of a star. A quote by Piteco inspires the title of the short film, “this party is my life”, a phrase that reveals the ethical dimension of those who save themselves the whole year to surrender and brighten the D'Ajuda packages.

Waterwork "A single shot (slow zoom) gradually magnifying rapidly-moving blue/white water pattern (rushing river). A sensitive and subtle film for visual contemplation, which inevitably reminds one both of how seldom we see ordinary 'simple' reality; but moreover, how wonderfully transformative is the medium of cinema, to render this reality in a new, optically dazzling, pattern. A hypnotic experience, for the cinema/willing, to drown within – and therein the danger: an art must keep the recipient alive and awake." – John Schofill
