Clandestine Break


Poster image Clandestine Break

*Clandestine Intervention* is a documentary that seeks to translate the state of mind of the Brazilian people in the face of the country’s social and political reality during the 2006 elections. A broad reflection emerges in the anonymous voices surprised at random in the crowd. They are ordinary people, from different professions, with different visions, who speak to the camera about their impressions, desires and frustrations, discussing politicians, voting, corruption, distrust and the future of Brazil.

Son of Glauber Rocha, a key filmmaker of the Cinema Novo movement in Brazil, Erik Rocha seems to have inherited the aesthetic vitality and feverish commitment of his father's cinema. In Intervalo Clandestino, with a camera in hand, the director crisscrosses the streets of Rio de Janeiro, capturing a collective reflection on the contradictions of the country's political scenario. In the form of a sensory work with a rich soundscape, a cacophony of dissonant voices emerges, oscillating between the skepticism and hope of a population left behind by its country's future. The film was shot almost 20 years ago, during the electoral process that elected the first leftist president in Brazil's history. And if it is true that the self-esteem of Brazilians has increased in the years following the film's production, when seen in the light of the current panorama, it is possible to identify some of the seeds of what is happening in the country today: the rise of far-right groups, the dangerous fusion of politics and religion, and maybe even democracy's failure.
