Miami-Cuba

Miami-Cuba is an audiovisual immersion through the Historic Center of João Pessoa, with brief trips to symbolic places along its shore. In particular, the recently verticalized Altiplano district, where his current urban development project seems to be heading. Its cinematographic device is the occupation of an apartment in the 18th floor building, the first skyscraper and initial landmark of modernization in the capital. Work that also configures a type of sentinel in this central region of the city, listed as a historical heritage shortly after its construction. A performative documentary that walks with pre-researched characters and others who were found in the journey of recordings… Expressive people from the city, known and/or anonymous, who ramble about their urban experiences, resisting, ways of living and living, existing .
