Sabe is one of the dopest writers in europe

Hey KET, I get to know by my friend DJAN, because he has been showing something about the São Paulo’s Pichação there in the Cartier Foundation. So, I am from Rio de Janeiro and instead of some equalities between São Paulo’s pichação, we have here several diferences, so I am coming here to show you the website of the documentary that I am independently producing. Take a look:

It is with a huge enthusiasm and anxiety that we release the website of the Brazilian documentary Light, Camera, PICHAÇÃO.

“PICHAÇÃO” is not graffiti. It is a distinction that only has happened in Brazil. As it is incomprehensible for most of the people, is made especially by a peripherized youth, and, of course, stamp the walls without authorization, it became crime, situation that justifies for the society in general all violence that the “pichador” is subjected. Art of not being caught! What a subversion is to sign the whole city with your invented name, especially a city that seems to be not projected for you? This film is so a chance to find in these aesthetic productions, susceptible to be named as “criminals”, fonts to think with audacity, the fragmentations and indifferences that constitute a huge part of the contemporary challenges for our society.

The camera always came back literally wet. Camera as aerosol, always on hand, in risk. And us, tired and nervous, paradoxically couldn’t sleep immediately. So, was exactly this uncatchable force that made the film keep on moving naturally, in a way that, almost not perceiving, we had already reached, in around 3 months, a great material, most of them shot in missions at drawn.

The film proposes a companionship and a sympathy for what, at first view, is incomprehensible, and because of that, a justified target for violence. Family, job, friends, loves, risks, affects, street, city, dawn, barbecue, beer, in other words, a film that is interested, above all, in common afflictions of a contemporary peripherized and urban youth.  How much of a “pichador” is inside of all of us?
