Presented in IFF Rotterdam’s Ammodo Tiger Short Competition, urban solutions is the fruit of a directing collaboration between four filmmakers who look at modern-day slavery in Brazil.
With a directing collaboration between four filmmakers, Arne Hector, Luciana Mazeto, Vinícius Lopes, and Minze Tummescheit, the new film urban solutions, portrays life in Brazil comparing and contrasting the colonial period of Brazil by Europeans with private security guard workers of Brazil. Surveillance cameras and historic paintings are used for the filmmakers’ arguments of the modern-day slavery work of security workers. Shot on 16mm, and hilariously portrayed by the main security worker, the arguments of the master and the worker, the relationship between the two, and the mundane, meaninglessness of their jobs show viewers of yet, another outcome of capitalism. Though repeated, urban problems require urban solutions, and the finale of the film showcases a revolting conclusion that doesn’t have the answers, but needs a solution.
