Full-length documentary
Balomania
The launching of colourful hot-air balloons has a rich tradition in Brazil, and its popularity didn’t diminish even when made illegal.
Stone Mountain, a popular tourist site in Georgia, USA, is a large park that includes a granite rock formation. In the early 20th century, the faces of three Confederate leaders – President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Colonel Stonewall – were carved into it based on a project initiated by people connected to the Ku Klux Klan.
The film, shot at a time when racial hatred was once again rising in the USA, presents the perspective of several local residents – a civic activist, a lawyer, and a historian – who literally live in the shadow of the controversial monument. Each of them asks different questions associated with the problematic national heritage. Taken together, they create a portrait of a community that cannot agree on the interpretation of the past, let alone the direction which society should take.
