BARULHO, ECLIPSE

Shot in steely black and white, the first feature length film by Ico Costa (whose Nyo Vweta Nafta won the Short film Award at Cinéma du Réel last year) is a hypnotic and immersive concert film documenting a musical performance by Rahu, an experimental project led by Alex Zhang Hungtai, fomerly of Dirty Beaches fame. A film about movement, complicity, and performance, BARULHO, ECLIPSE is also about mysterious, transporting moments of collective creation as the music and energy rise.
