Ô de Casa Nobre Gente: folia em memórias, cores e sons.

Abstract

Ô de Casa, Nobre Gente is an experimental production that can be classified as a short film based on memories, facts, fiction and childhood rememberings that presents a sample of my early years insights related with the popular celebrations of Santos Reis. From the visits of the festivities major celebrations members at my maternal grandparents’ house and their movement to my family’s friends homes too. A radio message broadcasted about the festivities took my atention and I started to search for some related pictures. I fould a lot of them. But those ones brought me some doubts. I couldn’t avoid to ask my mother about it. She was present at the preparations at the house of my maternal grandmother and other residents of the neighborhood when most of Santos Reis festivities happened in the past when I was a little boy. To produce a cinematographic register as a result of my personal rememberings, the reaserch and the informal interviews turned to an opportunity to show to today’s viewers the historical and very important cultural events that regular people used to put togheter. The knowledge and actions of these real characters can demonstrate that the ancestry of the preparations for the party was preserved and corroborates that the festivities of Santos Reis will be recognized as intangible heritage.
