Candomblé no Togo

The experience of a ritual by a look of Jose Agrippino de Paula. "The visual experimentalism of the writer Jose Agrippino de Paula (1937-2007), forerunner of tropicalism and author of 'PanAmerica' (1967), may be conferred in four videos that show SescTV today and tomorrow. The short 'heaven on water' (1978) is a visual poem in Super 8 on the beach in Arembepe (BA), with the dancer and partner of Agrippina, Maria Esther Stockler. Already 'Candomblé in Togo' (1972), in Super 8, register a religious ritual done at the time when the artist lived in Africa, where he took refuge from the dictatorship in the 1970s. Both videos are on schedule today. In the intervals, there are comments from friends of Agrippina, as the filmmaker and artist Hermano Penna José Roberto Aguilar. Tomorrow, the channel displays '2 of the First Movement of Symphony Panamérica' (1988), a experimental video made by Lucila Meirelles in honor of Jose Agrippino de Paula, with no comments from the conventional. The same short program brings another artist, with images of Mary Esther African dance rhythms. Yesterday, the channel showed another rarity for the author, 'Hitler 3rd World' (1969), one of the most radical experiences of the cinema of the time.
