FANTASMA NEON

Leonardo Martinelli
Brazil
20 min.

“Fantasma Neon” is a metaphor for the invisibility of delivery people, and for the indifference with which they are treated in a capitalist and neo-liberal society. Dance and music come into play in the film with a double stake: form of protest / coping mechanism.

In Brazil, the exacerbated economic crisis and the social stigma that is correlated with non-corporate work are symptoms of the suffering of Brazilian delivery-people, who go about their daily work unnoticed. “Fantasma Neon” is an alarm call against neo-liberal capitalist slavery, a musical that gives space to the expression of marginalised voices, through music, dance and protest. Martinelli makes a social film that tries to bring out of the shadows the work that lies at the bottom of an imaginary hierarchy of work. (Emilian Lungu)
