FERROADA (Bite) Directed by Adriana Barbosa and Bruno Mello Castanho Shortfilm, 25 min, 2017 Bite is a filmic reverie in homage to the writer-gravedigger Tico, who in a marginal life, searches for an aesthetic and political inspiration. Thus, "Bite" is also a film about memory, which brings to the fore not only the agonizing trajectories of remembering, but also its political force, of resistance, which insists on reinventing everyday life and seeking lost senses. As Octavio Paz states, "for us the value of a work of art lies in its novelty: invention of forms or combination of the old in an unusual way."
