A mini-documentary about color.
It won a number of awards - Ovarvideo 2005 Jury Prize, FEST 2006 Audience Award for Best Documentary, Tom De Video ACERT 2007 Best Documentary, Arouca Film Fest 2007 Best Documentary - and was present at a number of important events including the Vila do Conde International Short Film Festival 2006, Videoevento Turin 2005 and Jovens Criadores 2006.

Narrated by Joana Vieira da Costa.

Note: this video has a couple of factual errors concerning the spectrum wavelenghts (more info in this blog post: asseptic.org/blog/823). That is fixed in the second version of the documentary, for which I don't have distribution rights. Contact Andar Filmes - andarfilmes.com - if you're interested.

Update (05/2009): the video is now available in HD, which was upconverted from the DV original.

    OMG you made a point that I have always thought for a very long time, which really just hit me

    "We both agree that the grass is green"
    "But do you see what I see"
    "Is my yellow my purple"

    I have thought this for a long time, that i see my red, and we all agree thats the color, but does your eyes see it as a different color than mine, it would be impossible to answer that because we all could keep seeing that.

    Same with taste, all out senses

    It would explain why different people like different food, colors, and music.

    Its very mindbending.

  • Eduardo Morais 1 year ago
    You're right, and that's not the only goof. I wrote about that in my blog: asseptic.org/blog/823

    Anyway, I now added a warning in the video's description.
