This new edition/evolution of ®Nova is a multi-dimensional event focusing on story telling, taking on Cinemateca Brasileira for 6 weeks. An interactive, full-environmental experience in the form of cinematic installations. Renowed artists from around the world create a 30 to 45 minute movie in order to be shown as an installation. This installation will experiment with its surrounding space, featuring several screens and the many combinations between them to tell a story, and to push the perception of the audience. While the ready made film is showing, the artists must film a second part of the story live, while the film is being shown. The audience is part of this second part, being part (or not) of the final movie. The objective is to descontextualize the cinema experience, and generate a full entertaiment experience where public comes to enjoy a movie, but also to be part of it in all its possible different levels.

SHIMA

In post production right now!
An ordinary office employee, confortable in his daily routines, following a given script, working nonstop, and never moving away from what he knows, encounters a strange glitch which provoques a short circuit and everything start to go wrong. Shima, our hero, is so introspective that he gets lost inside himself, and he realizes it when it’s too late, when his brain becomes a labyrinth he doesn’t know how to escape from. When fantasy starts mixing with reality, and Shima loses control, he feels an urge to find any possible way out. This is the second feature film of a trilogy, produced by ROJO®, willing to explore the femenine and masculine inner universes and the improbable mix of crossings between these two.
