Refúgio e Evasão

From the testimony and personal experience of filmmaker Alberto Seixas Santos and his thoughts on the history of film, a filmic memory is rebuilt through an editing process. A dialogue between images from his films and reference to filmmakers he admires, whose films pervade this documentary like ghosts haunting reality. For the director, “the key issue with cinema, as with painting, music and art in general, is that the only works that live on are those that have taken risks”.
