I am not a filmmaker
Izabela Silva
The discovery of a feminist and revolutionary film, previously unknown in the history of Brazilian cinema, marks the beginning of the journey undertaken by young filmmaker Izabela Silva to get closer to its author, Rosa Maria Antuña. Titled "Solo," it was made in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, during a period of political repression and censorship by the dictatorship and at the height of the Cinema Novo movement, going unnoticed by critics. Despite being one of the first women in her country to direct a film, Rosa spent the last 50 years hiding her films and artistic career from the world and, at 83 years old, insists she is not a filmmaker. For five years, the film's director has been searching for clues and fragments of history to restore the works and marks of cinema that have permeated the life of this non-filmmaker. A friendship develops between the two, showing that despite the years that have passed, the anxieties and fears of women filmmakers are still similar.
