A DISCUSSION WITH MÁRILIA ROCHA

There remains something of everything - cinema, literature and landscape

A discussion about the possible interrelationship between cinema, literature and landscape. The search for how to depict the "spirit of place”, comprised of a topology of the things and people in a space and time; the hardships both visible and hidden in the landscape, and the fictions that inhabit it. From a project already under way, Marília Rocha proposes having a conversation about how cinema can depict the landscape and its social histories, recognizing its role as an integral part of the process of literary creation. The residue of each universe that gets left in the other, that which remains and does not get erased in spaces and texts, and our presence in the world.
