Q&A

Q：When did you first imagine Noite Veloz? How did it evolve from that idea? What made you want to make a short film like this?
您从什么时候开始构想《Noite Veloz》？它是如何从这个想法中演变出来的？是什么让您想拍这样一部短片？
A：I wrote the script in one night. I didn't had an "main idea", I was just writing no stop. Then I started the pre production, casting, and then the film really beging. But I think the major thing in this process was meeting Silvio (the main actor) and start to work with him, with reharsals, and doing a lot of rewriting in the process. We did Noite Veloz in a very "slow pace", we did everything in fourteen days, with patience, I had time to search for the right way to frame, to find the right positions for the actors, it was a very artisanal process and I think It was very influenced by Pedro Costa way of work in his last films.
我在一个晚上就写好了剧本。我没有一个 "主要想法"，我只是不停地写。然后我开始了前期制作，选角，然后电影就真正开始了。但我认为在这个过程中最重要的事情是认识了Silvio（主演），并开始与他合作，进行排练，并在这个过程中做了大量的改写。我们以非常“慢节奏”的方式完成了《Noite Veloz》，我们在14天内用耐心完成了所有工作，我花了很多时间寻找正确的取景方式，为演员找到合适的位置，这是一个非常艺术化的过程，我认为这很受佩德罗·科斯塔在其最后一部电影中的工作方式的影响。
Q：What was your intention in making the film in black and white? How do you see the significance of the black&white movie for modern cinema?
您将影片摄制为黑白用意是什么呢？您如何看待黑白色调对于现代电影的意义？
A：I saw an interview with Philippe Garrel where he defends the idea of low budget films being made in black and white... with no money is hard to control the colors, to have the right location, sometimes you're just working with what you have. In some way it's the same with a lot of b films I like from the forties and the fifties, films made by directors as Joseph H. Lewis or Edgar Ulmer - they're black and white because of economic issues, but this black and white have a strong aesthetical side too, and even an ethical side. I see a lot of short films being made with an Arri Alexa, high budgets and big crews, and in the end they all look the same: very "standard" and trying to copy what's is happening in the big festivals or in the "industry". I don't have money to play this game, so I need to work in another way. In the end is a win-win situation. I also love the black and white films of Pablo García Canga, one of the greatest filmmakers working nowdays. So I think filming in black and white is "the thing" right now, it's the right way to be modern nowdays.
我看到Philippe Garrel的采访，他为低预算电影用黑白拍摄的想法辩护......没有钱，就很难控制颜色、找到合适的地点，有时你只是在运用你所拥有的。在某种程度上，这与我喜欢的四、五十年代的很多B类电影是一样的，由约瑟夫·H·刘易斯或埃德加·乌尔默等导演制作的电影--因为经济问题，它们都是黑白的，但这种黑白电影也有强烈的美学的一面，甚至有道德的一面。我看到很多用Arri Alexa、高预算和大团队制作的短片，最后它们看起来都是一样的：非常“标准”，试图复制在大型电影节或“行业”中发生的一切。我没有钱来玩这个游戏，所以我需要以另一种方式工作。最终我获得的是一个双赢的局面。我也喜欢巴勃罗·加西亚·坎加的黑白电影，他是当今最伟大的电影人之一。因此，我认为现在用黑白拍摄是“正确的事情”，它是现今仍然现代的正确方式。
Q：At the end of the film Antonio still draws the curtains of his room, has he really been changed? What do you think of Antonio's final choice?
在影片的最后，安东尼奥仍然拉着他房间的窗帘，他真的被改变了吗？您怎么看安东尼奥的最终选择？
A：Júlio Bressane says that doing cinema is a "a powerful tool for self-knowledge". Maybe I did this film searching for this question - if this change is possible; if someone can just appear and change your path completely. I had a time when I was going out, just like Antonio, waiting for someone to come and save my life. I guess a lot of people experienced that or are passing through that. Sometimes we're doing a lot of things, but in the end of the night we just want some human contact, to be loved and love. I really don't know, I guess Antonio won his "own life" in this film, I feel as I don't control what he does in the end - as if it's the character decision. We need to ask him about it.
Júlio Bressane说，做电影是一个“自我认识的强大工具”。也许我做这部电影是为了寻找这个问题--如果这种改变是可能的；如果有人能出现并完全改变你的道路。我有一段时间，我像安东尼奥一样出门，等待着有人来拯救我的生活。我猜很多人都经历过这种情况，或者正在经历这种情况。有时我们在做很多事情，但到了晚上，我们只是想要一些人与人之间的接触，想要被爱和爱别人。（对于这个问题的答案）我真的不知道，我猜安东尼奥在这部电影中赢得了他的“自己的生活”，我觉得我不能控制他最后做什么--好像这是角色的决定。我们需要问他这个问题。
