Swing and Sway - Across continents, two friends script their lives in film
This offbeat documentary captures the unique dialogue between two friends who navigate the currents of their lives through the lens of experimental female filmmakers. One in Brazil and the other in the U.S., they bridge their physical distance by sending video letters that not only reflect their personal experiences but also pay homage to the artistic styles of various women directors.
Over a year, these films chronicle their thoughts on immigration, political climates in their respective countries, and their evolving fears and hopes. Each video letter serves as a creative testament to their experiences and the influential women in cinema who inspire their storytelling.
