IMPÉRIO (EMPIRE)

Thaís de Almeida Prado

4 min. Directed by Thaís de Almeida Prado
Description:

The crown jewels of the empire rise and fall.

First Brazilian film to be entirely produced through blockchain. We received support from the Near Foundation to make this short film.

Director's Statement:
The desire to make this film began with my project THE BRAZILWOOD WOMEN, a film project in development where I want to play with the image of a cisgender male body, which is observed as an object and little by little goes moving on to its deconstruction.

In the first scene of this screenplay, there is something I call "the prologue". The image of an erect dick trying to stay standing.

I understood during the various modifications of this script, that this scene, "the prologue", was a movie in itself. And it is this experience that I wish to provide to the audience: the observation of a falling object struggling to stay standing. Many meanings come to mind... white society, patriarchy, social impositions, and the pleasure of watching that all fall away.

This object subjectively represents thousands of symbolisms for our culture, but I leave this symbology to your imagination. Enjoy it!
