Synopsis

According to Jacques Rivette, every film is also a documentary about its own making. In this short film, the Portuguese director Luis Azevedo imagines what would happen if filmmakers took this concept literally. In essence, imagines the production of a film writing its
own parallel story without control, right under the director’s nose. The filmmaker ends the take, but the camera continues to roll, capturing what the viewer should not see and openly documenting whatever the official, directed narrative leaves out. There will always be someone to hold the camera, someone to edit the frames. So, what happens if the camera takes over?
