    • Synopsis
    • "Benjamim Zambraia and the autopanóptica" Filming began in 2013 in 35mm with equipment provided by CTAV - Audiovisual Technical Center and negatives donated by friends and admirers of the director's work, initially to be a short film. Still in 2013, the first digital images were captured for the film, in the demonstrations that broke out that year. Then the film began to grow in the director's head, inevitably becoming a feature film. In 2014 new recordings were made, this time in 16mm, with the Fevereiro Filmes team and again with donated negatives. Much of the material shot on film was revealed by the director and also by the film's director of photography, Igor Cabral, following a line of research applied to both short films by Felipe Cataldo. , exhibited and awarded at festivals and film screenings in Brazil and abroad, and still photography. The soundtrack of the film is by Octávio Terceiro, who is also an actor in the film, in an almost archaeological work that the director does by extracting true jewels from old tapes of different formats. This sound material was digitized in the CTAV itself, which was already the film's support, and was later treated and mixed by Ricardo Brasília. The work was only finished in December 2020
