The cold appears and nothing better than coming home from work or waiting for the weekend to see a good movie under the sheets, right, on second thought, this month we’re making a special of the best photo movies ever released. a little bit about the Oscar-nominated documentary O Sal da Terra, directors Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado.
Imagine what privilege it is to know the history of the main works of Sebastito Salgado, one of today’s great photographers, in a way, that’s what the 2014 documentary, O Sal da Terra, gives us.
- With a nonlinear account of Salgado’s photographic career.
- The directors Wim Wenders.
- One of the figures behind cinema Novo Alemo.
- With Juliano Ribeiro Salgado.
- Son of Sebastián Salgado.
- Portray the brilliance of this great representative of Brazilian photography.
The humble life in the small town of Aimorés, within Minas Gerais, where the photographer spent his childhood, as well as his admission to the Faculty of Economics of Esperito Santo and his relationship with his wife Lélia, are painted during the documentary.
What really stands out is Salgado’s photographic record, a life project that delights the gaze of those who have looked at it, shown photographs that evoke memories of the time when they were captured. Sebastian’s testimony is rich and valuable, as it wouldn’t be seen in an interview with a newspaper or magazine.
? Is social photography very latent throughout the film, from photographs taken in Ethiopia, Mali, Sierra Pelada and Rwanda?Places of conflict? They don’t go unnoticed. As well as the creation of the Terra Instituteo, created by Sebastian and his wife, with the intention of recovering and preserving nature.
The documentary Sal da Terra surprises in many ways. In addition to the immersion he provides as he enters the intimate world of Sebastito Salgado, the most significant works are also scored over four decades of career; and presents an optimistic result about the destruction of nature, which is at the heart of the photographer’s current work: the damage caused to the environment can be reversed. We just want to!
