Paper short abstract:

My film is a poetic and artistic analysis of a "pace with the size of the world," which is the Sertão in Ceará, Brazil. It captures how this desertified space builds the associability of its people and their relationship with flora and fauna

Paper long abstract:

The film "Where the stones are born" is a narrative that came out of an ethnographic research on survival strategies in areas affected by desertification in Ceará, Brazil. I used several artistic aesthetics, such as photography, cinema and literature in an attempt to explore the subjective experiences of people who live in a semi-arid and desertified area of Brazil. I will focus on the complex process of bringing together a poetic narrative and ethnographic methodologies to create a product that attempts to bridge the boundaries between art and science.
