- Synopsis
- At once a research documentary essay on historical and artistic aspects of early cinema that relies heavily on interviews and archives and a visual metaphor whose pictures and sounds resort to the language of conceptual art. In Brazil, Carlos Adriano discovers and restores a reel of old film shot in London in 1901. The rare footage turns out to be a short film by Brazilian aviator and inventor Santos Dumont (1873-1932), in which he explains to the future founder of Rolls Royce his airship design. Considered the Father of Aviation in his native Brazil, Santos Dumont is famous for making the first certified flight in an airplane. As such, this documentary forms part of the country´s film heritage and sheds light on the origins of filmmaking and early ideas about the possibilities of the motion picture. A documentary that renders tribute to the world of film through film itself.
