Book Design: “Tropicália and Beyond: dialogues in Brazilian film history”
Visual book edition of “Tropicália and Beyond: dialogues in Brazilian film history”
Originally published by Archive Books Berlin.
"Although the short-lived Brazilian cultural movement known as Tropicália is most commonly associated with music and the visual arts, its sense of playfulness and strategies of appropriation have stimulated many of the country’s filmmakers from the 1960s to the present. Fifty years after its emergence, what is the legacy of Tropicália today? And what is its effect on filmmaking in Brazil? This publication brings together a range of filmmakers and scholars past and present to consider these questions, and to offer multiple perspectives on the history of a major period in Brazilian cultural history."

Editorial project
The book was conceived to assemble frames of the most significant movies of Cinema Novo and Cinema Marginal and the original texts. The idea was to evoke newspapers feeling and impact of Tropicàlia on everyday life, as well as to suggest the duration of the multimedia contents.
