A nova mentalidade

  • Mauricio Stycer
  • Jornal do Brasil

“The general comment was that the selected short films were as or more successful than the competition films (Gramado Festival)”

Size doesn´t matter

  • Carlos Alberto de Mattos
  • Isto É

“A bar is also de setting of A Espera, the longest and most ambitious of the four. Based in one of A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments, by Roland Barthes with Walter Carvalho’s splendid cinematography recalling  Le Ball, de Ettore Scola, the movie rambles about the anguish of lovers – a feeling so voracious that it plots even the narrator”.

The time of short films

  • Eduardo Tessler
  • Última cena

“It is often said that the short film is a project of those who has no money for a feature film. A Espera overturned this idea, being an expensive film with well-known artists, well-kept photography, perfect set design and a lot of originality and innovation”.
