“Portraits of a Pandemic” – a five 30-minute-episode doc series – began its editing time in April. The series looks back over the two-year period when covid was a real threat to all of us and goes deep reflecting on what lessons we could possibly learn going through those extreme difficult times.
The material was shot during the desease’s most dangerous period, from March 2020 through March 2022, and presents the daily routine inside Albert Einstein Hospital, one of the most important scientific research places in Brazil and the biggest Hospital in Latin America. Over 70 days of shooting took place, observing all the safety procedures to ensure that the film crew would be somehow safe, although the danger and fear of contamination was present at all times.
This is a precious document of a period of time that will go down in history as one of the most dramatic of the last century. The series, produced by Cinegroup, will be showcased on Globoplay (TV Globo Streaming service) on July 2022.
After three shooting months in São Paulo and Rio, our series traveled to France and Switzerland. During the weeks spent overseas, we could film our main characters, who were sent abroad illegaly in the 80’s. Their lives and identities were changed forever, creating conflicts and situations which they are yet to solve in their lives.
Filming ocurred in their homes and specially produced locations, like football team Paris Saint-Germain Stadium, the Brazilian Consulate in Paris, a boat house on the Seine river, at Radio France International Studios and at different locations on the streets of the French capital.
The crew then traveled to Geneva and to South of France, to shoot at Nice, Mônaco and Menton.
The series, produced by Grifa Films and with no main title yet, will be aired on Canal Brasil at the beginning of 2023.
The one-hour film, produced by Grifa Films, was shot between 2020 and 2021, and tells the story of Bracell’s gigantic plant in the country. Among many challenges were the obssession to make all processes become circular, from water treatment, to energy production and consumption, correct managing of Eucalyptus forests, job creation in the cities around it and total fossil fuel-free operations.
During its construction, which involved thousands of workers, covid-19 pandemic stroke hard and difficult decisions had to be made in order to maintain the original planning and schedule. The result of this work of epic proportions is going through its final stages of editing, coloring and mixing.
The idea is to showcase it in August. Channel is yet to be defined.
