Synopsis

At Copacabana’s Fishing Colony, a resistance enclave in Brazil’s most iconic neighborhood, time folds. “Still Marimbás” returns where Vladimir Herzog filmed a pioneering documentary in 1963. Sixty years later, it finds echoes in the new marimbás. An essay on listening, endurance, and Brazil’s tragic rhymes.
