All Still Orbit

SYNOPSIS
‘All Still Orbit’ links together two apparently unrelated moments in the construction of Brasília: the dream by an Italian saint used to justify its creation and a small city built by the workers constructing the new capital to house them and their families. How do you make sense of a city built on a dream? Are all dreams made equal? Sometimes a documentary can feel like a fairy tale

Critical text
What are cities that are imagined, cities that are dreamt of? The 19th century missionary priest Don Bosco had a dream, he envisioned a new city, rich in raw materials, a promised land of milk and honey, bathed in the Sunday sun that would be shared equally among its inhabitants. The rubble of that city is now submerged under a lake at the foot of Brasilia, which emerges as a contrived entity whose lack of spontaneity contrasts with any fantasy. NURIA CUBAS
