Swing and Sway
Two friends respond to the challenges of the present by connecting through a playful provocation. Separated by America’s hemispheres, one in Brazil and the other in the U.S, they communicate strictly through video letters during a year. As a rule, each letter is formally and thematically inspired by a woman experimental filmmaker. As life unfolds, they express on film what they want to share with each other: the experience of being a recent immigrant, the expectations of political elections in both countries, their fears and hopes, all while observing the different women around them.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a dialogue through the rigid formal framework of video letters and explores how personal narratives intersect with the political climates of two continents. It relies on the legacy of women experimental filmmakers as a living language, not merely a reference, to articulate contemporary experience.
What lingers after the final frame is the profound sense of an intimate, collaborative gaze that turns friendship into a radical cinematic method. The shared vulnerability and observational curiosity become a form of resistance. — MovieFinder Editorial
