Closes
Pedro Nunes, 1982, BR, digital, 32'

"Do not seize a dark love with white lace. What is most beautiful is this. To stay, to fight, because love is an act of resistance.” Closes was made during the peak of the Military Dictatorship in Brazil, characterized by political repression, arbitrary detentions, censorship, and prohibitions on addressing topics related to sexual freedom in the context of cinema and the arts. This film challenges and confronts this political situation to explore the theme of sexuality, highlighting the prejudices related to affection between people of the same sex. In the midst, a romance through letters generates images of love, tenderness, lust and pleasure.
