The documentary presents an overview of Vladimir Carvalho's cinematographic career, from the very beginning, as a co-writer of “Aruanda” (1960), directed by Linduarte Noronha, to the present day.

In this wildly inventive hybrid documentary, the feature debut from experimental film and installation artists Yoni Goldstein and Meredith Zielke, viewers are transported to the space-age city of Brasília. A modernist architectural marvel, the city is a sparkling wasteland of machine dreams and aging monuments to a utopian future. Highlighting the sacred geometry of triangles and symmetry of lines, this sci-fi flick interrogates the semiotic structures that undergird the Martian outpost. With striking visuals and a thumping, electronic soundtrack, A Machine to Live In is a transcendent, transcendental voyage through Brazil’s cosmic capital.

Vladimir Carvalho suffered a heart attack an hour after the team left the site and passed away two weeks later.
