About the film

Guerrilla Cinema is a humanized radiography of dreams, anxieties, hopes and life plans of young men and women who live on the outskirts of São Paulo. It was born from a workshop given by the filmmakers Christian Saghaard and Evaldo Mocarzel in Sapopemba, a neighborhood located on the east side of São Paulo. This workshop is part of a project led by Kinoforum Cultural Association, which has been training, for more than 15 years, young people by teaching them the basis of the audiovisual language. The young learners write scripts, direct, edit and sound design their films, which are exhibited within São Paulo's International Short Film Festival, therefore achieving knowledge of all the stages of a film production. These young people express their worldview in fictional and documentary works, revealing visually the local contradictions from the neighborhood where they live.
