SWING AND SWAY (VAI E VEM)
A Feature Documentary directed by Chica Barbosa and Fernanda Pessoa
Brazil | Shot in Brazil & USA | 2022
Produced by Vulcana Cinema
Brazilian Distribution by Boulevard Filmes
The year in which everything radically changed, where real and invisible borders took on another dimension, is the root of a filmic provocation. Two girlfriends, separated by the North and South hemispheres of America, intend to dance in the tumult of images, violence, frustrations and desires. They do it through a game where registering themselves and the women around them enables a dialogue that becomes real and vivid, as an encounter and a hug determined to resist the distance.
Supported by the Visions Sud Est Fund and SPCINE Edital de Baixíssimo Orçamento.
