“The Dead and the Others”
Dir: João Salaviza, Renée Nader Messora DP: Messora Format: S16mm Camera: Aaton XTR PROD Lens: 16mm Zeiss Distagon, 12mm Zeiss Distagon, Canon 8-64mm Messora: We instinctively felt that this film had to be shot on film. When you live in the Cerrado (Brazilian Savannah), with an infinite amount of greenish tones in the foliage, with all the reddish tones of the land, the dryness of the landscape that totally changes when the rainy season comes — I really wanted to share that. I think the film was the ideal format to capture all this reality. 1/2
The limited amount of negative compelled us to be disciplined, and in a way, did not let us fall into the temptation of filming everything, which would certainly lead us onto a fetishistic and dangerous path. What’s more, filming miles away from everything, in high temperatures, without a film crew and without electricity, we definitely needed robust, reliable equipment. When filming with so little, you end up having to be a lot more creative, and I think we’ve come up with solutions to some technical issues that ended up being the right choices, which brought even more consistency to the mise-en-scene.
