“The film shots have great beauty and plasticity.
They have everything to do with painting and body expression.”
(Virginia Flores, Brazilian Filmmaker)

Category: fiction
(Color – NTSC/2003 – HD/2016 – 12 min. – Brazil)

Synopsis: Illuminations tells a story about two dancers who experience their bodies in a process of creation, while a painter is in existential and artistic conflict. Under an Impressionist photography, painting and dance lie in the unconsciousness of the characters, who come alive in a poetic narrative, enriched with poems by Fernando Pessoa.

Notice: This is an experimental film with educational purposes only and no commercial value in any way.
