Synopsis
Burela's streets blend with the vibrant energy of 1980s New York in "Batuko Exploration." Filmmaker Canoura merges VHS textures to connect African culture with Galician influences. The 12-minute piece juxtaposes rural landscapes with urban scenes, creating a dialogue between the countryside and the sea. Through this hybrid of documentary and video clip, Canoura hints at the thematic directions of his later work, reflecting on cultural intersections and visual storytelling.
