"69" is an experimental film made from an extensive Super 8 archive filmed by Edmond Conilh de Beyssac, a French aviator. In context, everything was filmed in March of 1969, on a trip to Brazil. The film was transmuted into the idea of Anarchive, a concept created by the philosopher Erin Manning, activated in a process of audiovisual experimentation.

Tupianas

Super 8 filmed in Brazil during the 70's. It's a reflection about the idea of Tupi, by elaborating a non-linear narrative with a collage of "antropofagic images", presenting the body and space as topology of desires, experimenting the choice in life, and language of the essential, instead of the accessory.
