Screening at MACA on Sunday, March 31, 2024 from 6 pm to 7.10 pm
On the occasion of Cao Guimarães’ solo exhibition in Xippas gallery in Punta del Este, three of his films will be screened during March at the MACA Museum and the Pablo Atchugarry Foundation: Amizade (2023), Ex-isto (2010) and A alma do osso (2004).
A alma do osso (The Soul of the Bone) shot in 2004, is the last to be screened on Sunday, March 31, 2024.
Synopsis:
“The Soul of the Bone gradually reveals the apparently isolated existence of Dominguinhos, a 72-year-old hermit who lives inside a cave that juts off from a rock mountain. The film is composed of long silences in which the hermit executes his daily chores, such as cooking and cleaning, and of images that transcend his territory. Towards the end we discover that silence is commonplace in the hermit’s life, the normal state in which time passes. Speech is the state of exception.”
