But now everyones at home in a quarantine that makes the barriers within Brazilian Society even greater the countrys culture lives on and from the streets and it unites people. From the differences are great and the little bar down the street or the beach or to places where the lines between social classes almost completely dissolve the coroner has led to everyone keeping to themselves and a part of the mixture thats part of rio has gone missing. If that ever was the extreme economic inequality is why the quarantine hasnt really been effective in rio while rios numerous cultural sites remain empty concert halls bars cinemas and theatres are still closed the narrow streets of the citys old quarter are filling up again with people who have to work because the governments emergency corona funds arent enough and that all. So goes for people like holly and the heat their circus acrobats and since the coronavirus theyve made intersections there big time a red traffic light rather than the opening of a curtain marks the start of their act while traffic is stopped they show off a bit of what they can do and hope for some spare change before the audience drives off again. But when i see the cars i imagine that there are a whole bunch of seats and i perform my show i smile at the audience even if i cant see their faces although im just at a traffic light i imagine its a circus train. When all goes well a day of smiling and acrobatics earns them the equivalent of 10 euros but their street performance is also the training they need to stay in shape for once again performing at a circus one day when the pandemic is over. Them but this is probably germanys most famous film director paris texas where the Vista Social Club wings of desire just 3 of the 60 movies and documentaries hes made so far now to celebrate his 75th birthday theres a new documentary be made about him which looks back at his illustrious career in the star all of a vent this movie. Portrays him vendors in the style of the inventors movie the producers of a new documentary sent the legendary german director on the road to the locations of some of his best known films each shot could be event us out take. Us. We started on this journey without knowing exactly what would happen when we actually shot in the way venders makes his movies. Every vendors film is an adventure he starts shooting with actors and a camera. Not knowing where the story will end then does is fascinated by the idea of america the wild west the wide open spaces and the endless search for the american dream. What it does beautifully is put together the images with sound and light and music that are that once you see them they stay with you forever in the late 1990 s. Venders reinvented himself as a documentary filmmaker it was a perfect fit to his improvisational style when a Vista Social Club sparked a worldwide renaissance in cuban music. His tribute to dance choreographer pina bausch was groundbreaking shot in 3 d. The film gave the audience the direct experience of live performance. Salt of the earth a portrait of photographer Sebastiano Salgado was just as powerful venders received Oscar Nominations for all 3 documentaries. Other passion is photography the director is a digital film pioneer but his photos are analog only his pictures are exhibited around the world. Last year vendors turned his lifes work into a monumental installation at the go home polly and paris. In wings of desire vendors masterpiece the sad angel gazes down on a divided berlin. His movies are like paintings. But why are they modern classics i think because they are portrayed and painting with cellulite in light of in. Endos has made indelible images for the screen and inspired a new generation of filmmakers. And are joined now by our film guru mr scott rocks. And youve interviewed members a number of times actually he wanted to be a painter beginning of his crude yes thats true that was his sort of plan a but i think i mean if you look at his movies i mean he basically paints with with his camera i mean and its interesting because his biggest inspiration as a painter was hopper and if you look at benders film some of the scenes look like they were taken directly from whatever hopper painting and also like copper he was really inspired by sort of american iconic graffiti you know the big wide open spaces the the the empty highway the the neon lights in the cities but because venders wasnt american isnt american he looked at these images from a distance sort of saw a bit of an alienated way and saw them and made them look seem strange and different and i think thats probably how wise inspired so many also american directors to take a look at these images that they think they know so well and see them with the sort of new foreign eyes with the eyes of the inventor. He inspired many as you said but he was also a bit of a technical pioneer wasnt yeah thats quite interesting because most art house directors are a lot of artist directors are sort of obsessive. Fans of dont like to mess around with Digital Tools vendors is the exact opposite he was one of the 1st directors to really embrace Digital Technology to start shooting on handheld digital cameras i mean his is a documentary film of one of us the social club was the 1st full length film to be shot and edited entirely digitally and hes always kept pace with the new day Digital Technology i mean when 3 d. Technology came in he was always one of the 1st directors to embrace it well with his dance documentary pina and as i say a lot of artist directors are a bit scared about shah. New technology but vendors has always said these are just new tools that we can use to tell our stories better or new and different ways you see most of his 60. Do you have a personal favorite i had to pick out i think probably wings of desire which of course is this classic berlin set movie i think because that was probably the 1st film i ever saw where it wasnt a film about plot and story it was about ideas and emotion i never really seen that before so change the idea my idea of what film could do. But i you know hes made so many amazing movies i think thats probably his hes all time classic ok and i should just mention that our producer tanya whos american says that she came to germany because of seeing wings of desire and influence so scott was as always thanks very much.
