synopsis: our lights shows us the way (or, the night is time to struggle) presentation: The film tell this to those who say we’ve been defeated stems from a collective process of organization and development in whose nature lies the instrumental excellence of words. However, what we address here is a different moment in this process, in which the layers of sound, resulting from concrete body actions, lead us, by means of what is unseen, to a greater sensorial understanding of the issue at hand—it is the exchange of meaning for feeling as the path to hearts and minds. To this end, we pored over MLB’s archive for about six weeks to better understand the latent aesthetic powers of that heterogeneous amalgam of images and sounds. By imposing a few rules on the archive research, we were able to first define the material that would compose the film, to then shape it as idea and gesture.
