[O LADRÃO DE GUARDA-CHUVA]
dir. José Eduardo Lins
Based on the rivetting short story by Carolina Nabuco, published in 1966, The Umbrella Thief tells the true story of a young man who steals from a benevolent housewife. With religious undertones and an award-winning sensorial score by Rapha Grumser, the film offers a refreshing take on a timeless tale of salvation in the face of death.
Premiered at the 2024 Clapham International Film Festival.
FARE WELL (2023) - 15 min.
[A DEUS]
dir. José Eduardo Lins, Rapha Grumser, Thassilo Weber
FARE WELL is a short film about the life of a guitar, whose story is told in six parts, each with a different cast portraying key moments in the instrument's life. Inspired by early 20th century silent films, FARE WELL forgoes dialogue and diegetic sound so that its music—an eclectic six-piece score composed by Rapha Grumser, Lipe Portinho, and Pille-Rite Rei—can take center stage.
Premiered at Rio de Janeiro's Museum of Modern Art (MAM).
