CRITICO

Seventy critics and filmmakers discuss cinema around the conflict between the artist and the observer, the creator and the critic. Between 1998 and 2007, Kleber Mendonça Filho recorded testimonies about this relationship in Brazil, the United States and Europe, based on his experience as a critic.

Before going onto direct his brazen, zeitgeist-inflected first feature Neighboring Sounds, Kleber Mendonça Filho turned his lens onto an international community of filmmakers and critics to collectively unfurl the complicated yet intrinsic relationship between criticism and art.
