Alto Paraiso - Film

Alto Paraiso is a short performance film directed by Lafawndah.

Set in the eponymous Brazilian community, Alto Paraiso documents an intimate meeting with artist and musician Delfina Mun, with whom Lafawndah had a chance encounter shortly prior to filming.

In Mun, Lafawndah detected a musical practice cosmic in scope - filled with endless becomings, reconciliations of the elements, exchanges of vegetal and sonic intelligence, and xenharmonic dimensions.

Capturing the songs and words of Mun in low-lit reverie, the film invokes the patient, crystalline consciousness of Apitchapong Weerasthethakul as much as the soft-focus, dragon- chasing hypnagogia of Cocteau.

Alto Paraiso unfolds the lullaby as the crossroads of song, landscape, plants, history and future.
