TRIPPY DUNES

Documentary. 90 min. Directed by Olívio Petit. 2022. Brazil

TRIPPY DUNES talks about the reinvention of joy in Rio de Janeiro in the first half of the '70s, a cultural moment that reverberates throughout Brazil to this day. Through alternative models of creation and tools, a generation of artists expressed their ideas and resisted the military government and its fierce censorship.
