Ulisses
dir. Beatriz Costa Lima
2018
Running time: 22 min.
Winner: Special Jury Award for Cinematography
The small beach town of Majorlandia is a place where time passes slowly and adventure comes quietly. Ulisses is a poetic observational documentary that follows the lives of a community of “jangadeiros” — fishermen typical to the dune-lined northeastern coast of Brazil. Although their numbers are dwindling, some jangadeiros continue to live off the ocean. The sights and sounds of their lives show more than a century’s worth of history woven into every sail.
