Directed by Caetano Gotardo and Marco Dutra, Brazilian Berlin competition entry “All the Dead Ones” kicks off in Belle Epoque 1899 São Paulo. Ana, the daughter of a plantation owner and her nun sister attempt persuade a reluctant Ina, a former slave, to perform an ancient African ritual to cure their mother. A time warp at the hour mark moves part of the drama to contemporary high-rise São Paulo, as Ana in 1899 becomes obsessed by ghosts of dead black slaves.
Gotardo: The way that Brazilian society was organized after the end of slavery and the way it’s organized today were at the center of our thoughts. We wanted to look at that historical moment with our eyes on the present. What interested us most was creating lively, strong and complex characters to create an overlap of time frames which discuss these subjects with words and sensations.
One beauty of the film is its portrayal of Brazil’s black communities. How strong is this culture now in Brazil?
