Camila JAM (Nome Próprio)A film by Murilo SallesAWARDS
2008 Gramado International Film Festival FESTIVALS
9th Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival SYNOPSIS Camila JAM tells the story of a young woman struggling to become a writer. Her life is her narrative. Camila is intense and brave. She wants her literature to be an act of revelation. It is a film about Camila's passion and her effort to support it. It’s about how her character faces the abyss, and what she gets from it is her strength to exist. It tries to represent the subject of abandonment in its complexity. It seeks a character without history, therefore what happens to her, doesn’t really matter. Capturing Camila in her movement is what really matters: living in her time, taking responsibility for her choices, suffering her distress, her contradictions, giving herself. With Camila, we want to look at a brave and complex woman, capable of throwing herself from a cliff and developing from this journey the support she needs to exist. We want to subtract any epic meaning from her existence, and remove any traces of it from the film’s narrative. Thus creating a time in which the moral content doesn’t matter. Moral is impregnated in the being [not in the narrative]. Moral blossoms from the scars originated in her process of giving herself absolutely, and vertiginously. Camila is radical and consciously alone. She has no past and doesn’t want to know her future. The only thing that matters is her path. The act of writing is her identity. It is a film about Camila’s quest for redemption, obsessively building and destroying herself. Lonely. Her unconditional quest is for affection, for intimacy. This existential experience incarnates her body.
