W/ English subtitles!
Reflections of Latin American cultural identity through flea markets, among trash and treasures. Unusual, archeological and anti-capitalist universe that explores the sustainability of the circular economy through recycled objects.
Treasures is a documentary directed by Flavia Furtado and created entirely from found objects and filmed with recycled materials over five years in Chile, Brazil, and Argentina. Using a flea-market camera, kaleidoscopic lenses, and video mapping projections on objects, the film builds a unique visual language that transforms discarded materials into portals of memory and imagination.
At its core, Treasures is a story about sustainable development, crafted exclusively with recycled materials sourced from flea markets and street fairs. It addresses urgent social issues such as poverty, aging, the environment, and the legacy of dictatorships in Latin America.
Made by women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, the film reflects the diverse and resilient realities of Latin America while proposing a new way of seeing cinema, where recycling becomes both an artistic method and a political stance
