In My Skin

by Toni Venturi & Val Gomes (Brazil 2020)

A poignant and disturbing blend of characters, music, and black intellectual thinking that unveil the racism rooted in the Brazilian soul. A documentary composed of personal stories and reflections of the white filmmaker about his privileges. International premiere at IDFA 2020.

“We had a very creative relationship with RCS. Our film has several narrative lines and countless possibilities of embroider it. We’re in the middle of its montage and got two independent feedbacks from Iikka Vehkalahti and Maya Hawke. It was great. Both provoked us to think deeply about our choices and helped us to find the best form to address it. Several meetings and innumerable exchanges throughout the process. We even thought we were abusing then but they kept interested in the film till the very end. We can only say: thank you very much for all!” Toni Venturi & Val Gomes, directors.
