I was supposed to make a black and white short film for this contest, but a series of events prevents me to do it in time. I decided to still do something so I used footages I shot in Florès, Indonesia last year with a canon 7d (and a gopro for the underwater footages), footages I was keeping to make a demo later this year, in order to get money to go back and do a proper job. As you can see many shots would need a better equipment! I just carried the camera with my hands...
The film is about life in a beautiful and secret island called Florès, which means flower in portuguese. During the three weeks I spent there, on a four months trip in Asia, I met incredible people, saw beautiful landscapes and encountered a rich wildlife. I fell in love with that place and this simple film is a tribute to Florès and life as i see it.
Enjoy!
