CLARA ANASTÁCIA

We are a creative duo of women living in the Brazilian diaspora, and we are interested in discussing the space of an ugly film, born in a country that exports beauty. Scarce is the first short in a trilogy that we call “decolonial melodramas” in which we tell the story of Rose backwards, a woman who goes into a panic when faced with a traumatic event. In this first film – created, written and acted by Clara Anastácia – we debate housing and food insecurity based on a mockumentary and fantastical mockumentary.
