No gasoline. No Internet. No telephone. Not even technological advances can withstand the aridity of the desert in this 3D animation. Lost in an inhospitable conceptual region, a cybernetic heroine attempts to free herself from her own technological constraints and escape the trap created by a world conceived for self-sufficiency. The filmmaker opted for intensely vivid primary colours, heightening the protagonist’s sense of desolation. The folk-inspired soundtrack immediately evokes American road movies.
Catálise was directed by Carlos Eduardo Nogueira.
Catálise runs for 7min, and was released in 1997.
