Vai e Vem

Fernanda is in São Paulo. Chica has moved to Los Angeles. As they navigate the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and follow the political chaos and social upheavals in their countries, the directors communicate via video-letter. In the rigorous setting they develop for their correspondence, a challenge is set: each letter must be inspired by the work of a female experimental filmmaker. Intimate conversations between friends and their immersion in other women’s work become a call to reoccupy the streets and collective life. Through their discussions and remote meetings, Fernanda and Chica build bridges between the North and South, between the past and present, between the worlds we live in and those we dream of.
