PIRACY, THE ADVENTURE OF CINEMA

film screening curated by Gabriel Menotti For someone that just wants to watch a movie, piracy can be a lot of trouble. One has to dive deep into torrent websites and go through jungles of porno pop-ups to finally find the desired work – after hours (sometimes days!) of unstable download, only to discover the file is encrypted or no video code installed. Worse, the copy can be bad quality or with unsynchronized subtitles. So much work, only to avoid paying few bucks for a ticket?! But maybe the whole point of piracy is beyond this mere economy. In this screening, Gabriel Menotti, a Brazilian expert on pirate cinema, will engage us with his film treasures and aesthetic of technological nuisances.
