The Toxic Images, The Poor Images and The Isolated Body

Authors

Keywords:

toxic image, poor image, pandemic, film

Abstract

The paper examines the event of the pandemic combined with Bolsonarism in a set of short films in which the confined space of the house, domestic objects and the present time are highlighted. It incorporates interviews with directors focused on the urgency of these productions as well as the toxic and the poor images. It concludes that these films and interviews are a work of memory for the future and asks whether such images will be able to reorganize what was in order to glimpse the future.
