“Ebullition” By Luiza Villaça
Synopsis
The overflow of thoughts and feelings of a woman battling with the realities of the pandemic.
Directors statement
I was finding myself so overwhelmed by the pandemic and the world situation (not only the virus itself, but also so many social issues that were latent and I knew would last for so long causing so many suffering). It was May 2020, we were locked inside our homes (if you are privileged enough to have a home), the whole world was resonating in vibrations of fear, lost and death. People were worried about their health, about losing their jobs, their loved ones, worried about having food to eat.
It is part of me trying to learn with every single step of the path. I was feeling challenged by my mood, but I realized I was not alone in this emotional status and also that this very uncomfortable context could drive us to some kind of evolution as human beings and humanity as a whole. I wanted to eternize in a certain way those feelings so I (and anybody else) would have access to this latter in life.
I was lucky enough to have an amazing talented crew willing to do this with me and trusting me. They really put a lot of effort and sensibility into this work. It was not only about producing a film, but about deep and powerful ideas and perceptions exchanges. They were very generous and went beyond their own department responsibilities to make it happen. And I couldn’t be more grateful.
