Strolling through the history of Brazilian photography, the film discusses the impact of technological advances on the profession. In an increasingly connected society, where information arises by a quantitative demand, the digitization of the photographer’s craft becomes almost a threat.

Lauro Escorel, one of Brazil’s most prominent cinematographers, turns his camera on photography itself to explore classical depictions of his country. With enthralling testimonies (his own included), Photografaction is a tender look at both the history of Brazil and the craft since its early days.
