SAIGON, Sao Paulo / MEDECINS DU MONDE / 2018
Overview
Credits
BriefExplanation
The movie highlights the everyday of humanitarians and the gestures of these men and women who never give up, by following a doctor during his diverse missions on war zones or devastated areas and alongside deprived populations. A breathtaking dive close to the reality of horror and the actions that heal but also transmit the moves that save and shut death up. A movie with a documentary aesthetic and a moving realism rich in varied emotions.
EntrySummary
Everything was shot in two days in Brasil, in which the african culture has a strong influence, for historic and sociologic reasons. We harnessed this influence to give to the film its realistic tone.
The idea was to shoot three long takes and to adapt the story from there. We shot during one day in an abandoned warehouse in São Paulo, that we transformed in sort of war zone. Then, we shot for half a day in a Cubatão favela and then in a really old hospital of São Paulo for the rest of the day.
