The visit, in a hypnotic circular movement leading up to a final upward vertical one, starts with various photos of Hilst (taken by Fernando de Lemos and preserved in the house’s archival estate) to the sound of excerpts of her work read by Brazilian poet Júlia de Carvalho Hansen, with the purpose of enhancing the reflection on issues of sexuality and colonialism present in the political and poetic militancy of the Brazilian writer’s work.
Sound is a journey. Each note opens a door, closes another. Instruments chart the course. Through a poetic and immersive lens, Sou Jazz shines a light on musicians from the Paraisópolis community, reaffirming the social and transformative power of art. The film invites viewers into a reflective, sensory exploration of the relationship between jazz and life on the margins.
