Meditations on Revolution Part II: The Space in Between
Director Robert Fenz
Countries United States
Duration 8 min
Synopsis
Inspired by a meeting with Brasilia architect Oscar Niemeyer, Fenz's vision of a favela neighborhood in Rocinha, Latin America's largest permanent shanty town, is a metaphor for revolution abandoned. Frequent technical problems in-camera remain as chosen moments wherein this invisible community “comes to light” in brilliant wash-outs and fade-ins, illuminating the restless energy of residents in unnervingly improvised living spaces.
