This pseudo diary film is made of found materials from an unfinished 16mm film. Potenciais à Deriva is a film started by a Brazilian artist under a pseudonym while living in exile in Los Angeles, California. Isolated shots and previously assembled scenes reveal an intention to create a mysterious film comprised of disembodied interviews, empty rooms, radio recordings, soccer games, and sudden apparitions of the filmmaker that slowly ruminates on Brazil's colonial past, North American Imperialism and the military dictatorship of the time in a paranoid and anxious manner.
Be aware that the film's final version never came to exist. This version presented is my mere attempt to produce a film with these otherwise lost images.
这部伪日记电影由未完成的16毫米电影的拾得素材组成。《漂流的潜力》是由一位巴西艺术家在加州洛杉矶流亡期间用化名拍摄的一部电影。孤立的镜头和先前组合的场景揭示了创作一部神秘影片的意图,影片由没有人物出现的访谈、空荡的房间、广播录音、足球比赛和导演的突然现身组成,以一种偏执和焦虑的方式缓缓地反思巴西的殖民历史、北美的帝国主义和当时的军事独裁统治。请注意,这部电影的最终版本从未存在。现在呈现的版本只是导演试图用这些本将消失的影像制作一部电影的尝试。
