Tudo Sob Controle / Under Control
João and Maria have a quiet life, focused on their routines, until they realize that the world they live in is a show. While Maria struggles to escape the manipulation, the line between the real and the imaginary begins to be broken. Not everything is under control.
Statement
Our short film explores the growing impact of artificial intelligence on the audiovisual industry and the people whose livelihoods depend on creative work. Through its narrative, the film raises questions about authorship, artistic identity, and the risk of technology replacing not only jobs, but also the human voice behind storytelling.
Rather than taking a purely technological perspective, the project focuses on the emotional and social consequences of these transformations, encouraging reflection on the future of creative professions and the value of human expression in an increasingly automated world. By addressing a highly relevant and contemporary issue, the film aims to foster dialogue about the ethical, cultural, and professional challenges posed by artificial intelligence.
