The films of Brazilian filmmaker Vaz make us question what cinema can be and emphasize its limitations to capture the real. They celebrate the medium’s possibility to engage the senses in surprising new ways by reconsidering the limits of our perception. Using a myriad of techniques, including combining found footage with her own images, Vaz’s films at once show and obscure, explore relationships between clashing environments, present history as a series of entanglements in order to challenge colonial discourses, and suggest that memories are dynamic entities without which no common sustainable future can be constructed.
