About Santos Dumont: Pré-Cineasta?
The documentary’s starting point is the discovery and restoration of a rare and unknown photography reel reproduced from a mutoscope film, made in 1901 in London, about Santos Dumont (1873 – 1932). The work approaches historic and artistic aspects from the beginning of Cinema (pre cinema, variety film) and a cinema that appropriates archive material (found footage, recycled films), through interviews, documents, visual metaphors and the articulation of a poetic essay.
Directed by Carlos Adriano, Santos Dumont: Pré-Cineasta? leans on a strong ensemble — Alberto Santos Dumont, Charles Rolls, Bernardo Vorobow — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2010.
