“Olmo and the Seagull” is a poetic and existential dive into an actress’s mind during the nine months of her pregnancy as she confronts fiery inner demons while trying to conceive a new philosophy of life, identity and love. Underlying this hybrid film is mounting tension over what is real and what is enacted when one performs one’s own life. Freely inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, the directors propose a “mise-enscène” of the actors’ lives constantly playing in the border of fiction and non-fiction.

Elena, a young Brazilian woman, travels to New York with dreams of becoming an actress. She leaves behind a childhood spent in hiding during the military dictatorship, and she leaves behind Petra, her seven-yearold sister. Two decades later, Petra goes to New York to pursue acting… and in search of Elena. But the film (and the filmmaker) cannot escape the similarities between Petra and Elena’s stories, and as they overlap, they begin to blur. In the spirit of Tarnation, ELENA obliterates the line between documentary, diary, and fever dream, and is at once captivating and devastating.

In life, poor Raimundo da Silva never did anything that could be considered “special” in his short 20-year existance. In death, however, he would prove to be a whole different story. When his corpse ends up donated to a medical school anatomy lab, he receives the code M8 and is assigned to first-year student Mauricio. Mauricio, the only black student in his class, unexpectedly decides to give his object of study a proper burial. Sent to his home town for burial a small, remote village in the heart of the country - Raimundo/M8 is then mistaken for a miracle by the superstitious, isolated community when he “magically” shows no sign of decomposition in spite of being dead for over a year. What follows is a series of serendipitous and magical events that take on a life of their own, as Raimundo/M8 now becomes a local phenomenon, and is manipulated into becoming a full-fledged saint by the powers that be – something that Mauricio is keen on stopping from happening.

The rite of passage from youth that has poetry as its guiding light, and prose as its basis.

The moment of truth between the rough, crude truth of an economical father and the anarchic softness of a spoiled uncle: clean the world off its crap or provoke freedom?

Through the heavy lenses of his glasses and his young 15 years, Xico premeditates chance within his future in a city hat floats in time.

And that’s how, while directing “Big Jet”, Claudio Assis lets poetry overflow, from a film scene that doesn’t conform.
