Ozualdo Ribeiro Candeias

Ozualdo Candeias was a grumpy truck driver. He never lost the verve of this strange form of freedom, trapped in the cab and facing the varied itineraries of the world. Among the many jobs he held, he was also that of a filmmaker in Boca do Lixo, at a time when making films lacked pride and friends. He had both in abundance. His complexity can now be revisited in a process of image and sound collages, guided by a frank and reflective conversation, recorded at the end of 1997, about the cinema of yesterday, but also about today.

An authentically marginal cinema created in Catholic university in Brazil. One of the most intriguing and imaginative moments in modern cinema in the voice of some of its select conspirators—with Carlos Reichenbach at the lead—, and through the most razing flow of images that can possibly be conceived.

Pyroclastic flows (also known as a pyroclastic cloud or pyroclastic wave) are the devastating result of some volcanic eruptions. They are fluid bodies, composed of hot gas and pyroclasts (gray and stone) that can travel at speeds of up to 160 km per hour. In this case, the eruption is Cinema Marginal and the pyroclastic flows are called Ozualdo R. Candeias.
