Biography
Haroldo Eurico Browne de Campos (São Paulo, August 19, 1929 - São Paulo, August 16, 2003) was a Brazilian baroque poet and translator. Haroldo studied at Colégio São Bento, where he learned his first foreign languages, such as Latin, English, Spanish and French. He entered the Faculty of Law at the University of São Paulo at the end of the 1940s and released his first book, O Auto do Possesso, in 1949, when he took part in the Poetry Club alongside Décio Pignatari. In 1952, Décio, Haroldo and his brother Augusto de Campos broke with the Club because they disagreed with the prevailing conservatism among the poets, known as the “Generation of '45”. They then founded the Noigandres group and began publishing poems in the group's magazine, with the same title. In the following years, he defended the theses that would lead the three of them to inaugurate, in 1956, the concretist movement, to which he remained faithful until 1963, when he inaugurated a particular path, focusing his attention on the project of the book-poem “Galáxias”.

He was persecuted and condemned by the Portuguese Court of Inquisition due to his position against native slavery, against the intolerance to the Jewish people and to the colonial politics of exploration.

Com a Palavra, Arnaldo Antunes
"They are combinations of fragments. There are no stories, it is possible to mount these fragments in many ways. »Cine-eye or cine-voice-eye. The text of the Galaxies goes straight to the image. »A text rewritten for the eye» (H. de Campos). A short film that is more than experimental and that is based on a dark aesthetic that takes from the work of poet Haroldo de Campos its "dark matter" to combine it with the filmmaker's rarefied images and the puppet-like markings of actresses Bete Coelho and Mariana de Moraes.

Ivan Cardoso is the inventor of the terrir, a subgenre that mixes comedy, Brazilian chanchadas and classic American horror. This film promotes a rescue of his work by mixing archival material, animations and fictional reconstructions.
Ivan, the TerrirBle
A liberal interpretation of the book Galáxias, one of the most important works by the great contemporary Brazilian poet Haroldo de Campos, written between 1963 and 1976 and published in 1986. Bressane considers this work of poetry the Portuguese Finnegan's Wake. The video is a disorganized system of images: an exploration of colors, quotes and sudden inspirations created by the words. A sequence of epiphanies, rigorous in their images. The films cited act as cinematographic scenery, conferring a sense of drama to the movements of the actresses and the readings of the poems.
