CADÊNCIA

2009 Commissioned by NIke
Running Time 70 minutes

 
Cadência is a feature length documentary film exploring the ambiguous essence of Rio de Janeiro (and Brazil's) symbolic identity - through its people, passions and traditions. Exploring the underground phenomena of traditional 'pipa' (kite) culture, the manifestation of Clovis and of course, football. The film features commentary from academics, artists, footballers (including legendary 80's Brazilian captain Socrates), and last but not least, 'O Povo' (the people).

Cadência is a picture of Rio's sports and cultures, the firm cohesion that creates the strong unified image Brazil projects to the world.This film explores the country’s rhythm, its cadence as it winds up for Carnival, the biggest celebration of the year.
