Amidst Boundaries

During the 2018 elections, conflicts between Brazilians intensify over the major ideological differences in social, economic and identity spheres. As much as the documentary is a political cut in Ceará, one could well imagine it anywhere in the country, which certainly reflects widespread chaos, dark times. Within this process, when immersed in the streets, it was observed that, in fact, politics was a mask to incite other discussions. And so it turned out that the clash was not in the debate of more basic and collectivist agendas, but in the boundaries of the ego.

Arena - A Construção de um Sonho

Selection

SELECTION documents a KISZ (Hungarian Young Communist League) chapter at an oil refinery that is interested in hiring a musical act as entertainment for young workers. The documentary shows the group discussing their criteria for the band, as well as their interviews with the individual bands. It is quickly apparent that the group isn’t interested in any sort of musical talent or the potential audiences’ interest. Rather, they are focused on ideological or moral issues that may be perceived as negative, such as groupies or outfits that are seen as too trendy. They settle on the musical group that is potentially the easiest to control, the youngest band. SELECTION works as a larger metaphor for what censorship was like in Socialist Hungary and was banned from being publicly screened until 1982.
