Catharsis

Katharsys

**Produced in the 1990s on film and digitally completed in 2022, this film is a biographical portrait of a unique flowering of Rio de Janeiro filmmakers. The central character, played by Breno Moroni, anticipates the films he makes and then shows them to audiences, navigating an increasingly unstable political and cinematic landscape. In his third film, only a photographer (Antônio Luiz, who passed away from COVID) and an actor playing all the roles are present. It's then that a double of the character appears, not the artist but the entity, Grande Othelo, an exu spirit that traverses the parallel reality of the millennium's turn.**
