A visual ode to the Cape

This short film was shot on Super 8mm during a month-long stay in the Cape, made in the margins of a production. Exploring the old and new by shooting a decades old format and presenting it as a vertical film.

Edited to an archival acappella recording by Passion Drives Us, the film reflects on personal encounters and moments I gathered there.

Alongside the moving image, I captured series of 35mm photographs portraying everyday life.

Colorful two-story building with pink and green sections, featuring multiple windows, a small balcony, and four trees on the pink section. A vintage blue car and a person in a yellow vest are seen in front of the building.
People on a beach, some preparing for surfing, with mountains and cloudy sky in the background.
A person walking along a rocky beach holding a surfboard with ocean waves in the background.
A person sitting on rocks at the edge of the ocean, with waves crashing against the rocks. In the background, there are high-rise buildings and a lighthouse along the coast. The sky is clear with a subtle gradient from light blue to white.
People walking along the sandy beach near the water with a mountain and buildings in the background.
A scenic view of a coastal town with houses and buildings along the shoreline, a beach with gentle waves, and towering cliffs in the background under a clear sky.
A lighthouse with red and white diagonal stripes, a small viewing platform near the top, and a spherical weather vane, accompanied by a street lamp and a gated entrance with a predicate and a gray neighboring building.
White lighthouse on a grassy cliff against a clear blue sky, near the ocean with a fence along the coastline.
People walking in front of a pink building with multiple windows, parked cars, and a staircase leading to an arched entrance.
Two boys in a street scene near parked cars and a green building. One boy is reaching out and looking directly at the camera, wearing a blue camouflage shirt. The other boy, with his back to the camera, is wearing a white shirt and holding a broom.

Cliffs along a sandy beach with waves crashing, under a blue sky with sparse clouds.
