A FILM BY DIOGO SALGADO
Birds fly over two kids playing by the lake. The disappearance of one dims the night of the other.
Even though only vague memories remain from crucial events for any childhood, some of those conflicts, once small, are still fresh today as an adult. The maturity of those struggles allows a reflection over those interactions and unanswered tumults: losing someone, the vagueness of the future and nature’s indifference before that disquietude. Some mysteries last forever.
I’ve decided to land the tripod on that ground, where neither truth or lie exist – a swamp, unstable for Man – and tell the story of a small occurrence between two kids. Noite Turva evolves from the clash between the innocence of fantasies and the harshness of reality. Structured by a subtle plot, the formal elements are a direct consequence from the characters inner conflicts. The landscape is a passive and indifferent opponent, a trap that, not only circumscribes the characters, but also stimulates their imaginations with echoes and shadows.
