Through the means of a still fixed camera and the rhythmic strengtht granted by on-camera editing; Corta is a film centered upon the hypnotic extenuation generated by the body movements of sugar cane cutters. A contemplation of the frenziness and softness of the performatic gestures of hand labour while the surrounding plantations act as an omnipresent backdrop as the canes disappear. Corta is a pure cinematic experience about the natural and everyday ritual of a timeless world.
