if you go, go in peace - a film-meditation - February/2023 - paris france It came from my attempt to put a little of grace in something so aching. I live in a place between love and hate with my tinnitus, a condition that appeared after being diagnosed with hearing loss. I love it when it sounds like the night on a farm; hate when it is so loud that hurts my ears. In the search for peace and silence, I ended up listening less. And yet listening more. I’m never alone, now. And so I’ll never be alone as I was when I turned 30 and shut myself away in a Buddhist temple. Meditated a lot. Dreamed a lot. Have been hypnotised by the wiseness of the trees. Tried to become one. Then I came back. Tied my past and my present with my future. Bacurau is a bird; a bird that whistles; and like the bird, Bacurau made a lot of noise. As for my tinnitus. As the music I make. And as my future as a (Brazilian) filmmaker. As for my words that comes out a little broken at times due to my freedom to come and go (but the idea is still there)… I told you, the noise can be bad, yet can be good, things are, and so they are. As for me, I’m going with the noise, in peace, never alone, - I have so many things to say and show and do and I can’t wait to share it all with you. I’m the good noise #NOWNESSweekly
