Obatala Film

The sun reflecting on the water＇s surface is the film＇s first shot. Bright spots dance to the beat of the drums following the tide. The music also lulls the movement of the camera and the editing when we start seeing the land, the forest, the wind, and the Black skin painted white with the patterns from the feast dedicated to Obatalá. The materiality of Super 8mm film, combined with the film style, blends different elements in the same universe, making life and the creation of the world pulsate.
