Contemporânea

Gliese 581 g is a medium-length film that combines old videos with unseen archival footage, deleted scenes, and soundscapes. Resulting in a coherent, non-linear montage, this work summarises Diogo Evangelista’s audio-visual endeavours over the past ten years. Specially crafted for Contemporânea Film(e), Gliese 581 g questions the boundaries between reality and fiction, exploring the nebulous boundary where the real and the imaginary blend and intertwine. Within a diegetic context, the film expands our understanding of the relationship between humans and technology, the organic and the mechanical, and the generic and the individual in an experiential era.
