A Arte da Memória

The art of memory is a classic technique that associates images with places through a process of remembrance and meaning. From the memory of places and their context, the documentary delves into the creative process of three contemporary visual artists: Daniel Blaufuks, Pedro Bastos and José Rufino. Despite the different expression approaches of each author, we find points of communication in the way memory operates in their works. By rummaging through the hazards and disorder, we arrive at the director's personal mythology, assuming that memory is a fiction like any film.

Directed by Rodrigo Areias, A Arte da Memória leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Blaufuks, José Rufino, Pedro Bastos — 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 2021.
