JAGUAR
Short film, fiction
Director, screenplay, actress, and editor
Synopsis:
The film is born in an obscure social and political context in Brazil, where we witness an exponential advance of necropolitics in the country and also a widespread ecocide mostly caused by a fascist government. As a response to this context, the film goes beyond the will to value diversity, and it proposes a radical notion of otherness: being able to become, in fact, a diversity of beings. The name JAGUAR comes from the indigenous language Tupi-Guarani, “ya’wara”, and the film is a decolonial and tropical reinterpretation of the book “One, nobody, and a hundred thousand”, by the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello.
