The 5-hour film must be produced, shot and edited within a period of five hours. This series of films is a collaboration between Roberto Costa and filmmaker Rogerio Boettger.

5-hour film: Favela Santa Marta

The first film was shot in Favela Santa Marta. This is a symbolic community in the heart of the Rio’s affluent South Side where international figures such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Alicia Keys, and BeyoncĂ© among others have paid a visit. It has also been the canvas for many artists and home of the samba school Mocidade Unida do Santa Marta. The favela was ‘pacified’ by the military police in 2008 (UPP) and is now free of drug lords and thus open for tourism.

date: 2011
music: Lemonade – Big Weekend
