For a vagabond cinema
Filmmaker Ana Vaz will lead a workshop exploring the themes and aesthetics that shape her artistic practice.
“Vagabond, from the Latin vagabundus, composed of vagare, “to wander, to drift,” and the suffix -bundus, “prone to, full of,” – is the one who wanders, who drifts, who stubbornly and uncompromisingly seeks to escape the sedentary and captive fate of the modern subject. to wander, to loiter, to drift, to walk without a destiny, to be errant in error, to stray from reason and permanence. the errant movement does not identify itself and rejects classifications; this is its semantic war. vagabonds, vagabundus: the errant does not identify itself, yet know where they come from.” — Ana Vaz (extract from por um cinema errante, por um cinema vagabundo / for an errant cinema, for a vagabond cinema)
About Ana Vaz
Born in 1986 in Brasília, Vaz’s work explores the relationship between humans, their environment, and collective memory. Her films, blending the political, ecological, and poetic, delve into the buried ghosts of her hometown, a symbol of both promise and fracture. A graduate of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and Le Fresnoy, she extends her work beyond cinema to include writing, installations, and pedagogy. Winner of the Kazuko Trust Award, she is currently developing Anhnanguera at the Villa Medici, a trans(e)historical fiction inspired by the colonization of Brazil’s Far West.
