Big Bang Unclassified 18+ 14 mins
This sardonic film, which won the Pardino d’oro Swiss Life for the Best Auteur Short Film at Locarno, recounts a small person’s larger-than-life rebellion.
Uberlândia, Brazil. Chico has turned what others view as a limitation into a professional advantage as an oven repairperson, with his short stature allowing him to squeeze inside broken appliances. But after several cruel encounters with an ableist world, he starts explosively dismantling the system from within. Featuring sharp cinematography and an impeccable performance from lead Giovanni Venturini, this dark comedy sets its sights on a bourgeois society that looks down on people.
