The Sound of the Bells
2017, Portuguese. Directed by Marina Thomé & Marcia Mansur.
Helping to preserve a sonorous language that is steadily disappearing, this film is part of a longer multimedia project exploring the tradition of church bell ringing throughout cities in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In its tender, drifting exploration of the art and meaning of the bells, the film patiently reveals the quieter, inconspicuous details and tangential stories of those within resonant range.
