Semana Santa em Ouro Preto

Semana Santa em Ouro Preto 1970 Directed by Olívio Tavares de Araujo

Filmed between March and August 1970, the film presents the Catholic festival from its performative dimension. Residents of the region reveal a certain nostalgia for the spectacle, which, according to them, have been lost over time. It is in the search for a theatrical revival that the film operates, reactivating the historic city as a large open-air stage.
