Film Talk with Harold Grenouilleau an Vincent Rimbaux, Director and DOP of VAI CAVALO

Moderation: Eva Weinmann

VAI CAVALO, BR, FR 2022, Harold Grenouilleau, Vincent Rimbaux

The idyllic greenery of their surroundings is deceptive: Dirlinho and his cousin’s childhood is marked by deprivation and violence. They try to escape by working as jockeys. While the punters – mostly older men – bet on them, they gamble with their lives for a better future by riding doped horses. Always on the protagonists’ eye level, the film captures their balancing act between hope and hopelessness. Sara Gómez Schüller
