Rio Memórias

Vermelho Guanabara is an experiment inspired by the city symphony films of the early twentieth century. Manhatta (Strand and Scheeler, 1921), Man with a Movie Camera (Vertov, 1929), Berlin – Symphony of a City (Ruttmann, 1927), São Paulo – Symphony of the Metropolis (Lustig and Kemeny, 1929), to name a few, are cinematic essays that offer a precious glimpse into the new metropolises then growing. With Vermelho Guanabara, it is the turn of the city of Rio de Janeiro to dance to the contagious and contradictory rhythm of progress. In the gap of the images that are missing – of Brazilian cinema, of the feverish city, of the women and men who lived there – the experiment in red weaves its own symphony. Glimpses of dreams, good and bad, of the city, its longed-for image, and its inhabitants are selected and combined on two simultaneous screens.
