Material em Bruto (Raw Material)
|
|||
Material em Bruto (Raw Material) was filmed over a year in the Interior Douro region. Through testimonies from local communities, Material em Bruto reflects on different, at times conflicting, notions of value in relation to the landscape and how practices of cultivation, preservation and extraction benefit and impact the people who live there. Material em Bruto (Raw Material) pays particular attention to past, present and possible future, mining activity in the region, using the mine as a metaphor to explore ideas of what is contained but not immediately visible within the landscape. Lithium represents a new ‘promise’ of wealth, the white gold that threatens to divide communities and impact the local environment. |
