The human body was never set as a musical instrument in a beautiful scene. Brooklyn Film Festival June 8th 7:30
Festivals, United States, New York City, 08 June 2013
The video in competition for the experimental category will be screen at the Windmill Studios, on June 8th at 7:30 pm, during the 16th Brooklyn Film Festival event.

“Tambourine, has no gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation but is defined perfect simply from the sound that it makes.”

Italian born artist Carlo Sampietro presents “Bunda Pandeiro” the first part of a trilogy that explores the rules of gender and race in the contemporary world.

In Brazilian slang, the phrase is used to describe attractive buttocks by referring to them as a tambourine. While the ass is a universally recognized symbol of sexual allure, the film blurs lines between gender and race, reducing each participant to the utilitarian role of a musical instrument. Traditional sexual roles are also eliminated. This “body concert” is a metaphorical representation of the “tambourine,“ which has no gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation but is defined perfect simply from the sound that it makes.
