Brasiliários was inspired by two tales from writer Clarice Lispector, Five Days in Brasília and Brasília Esplendor. Bazi and Porto’s film portrays Lispector as played by Cláudia Pereira, Vaz’s mother — and her journey through Brasília’s iconic modernist architecture. The film’s soundtrack is by Ana Vaz’s father, artist and composer Guilherme Vaz, who was one of the pioneers of conceptual and sound art at the beginning of concrete music in Brazilian cinema, composing soundtracks for more than 60 films. A co-founder of the Experimental Unit of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro (1968-1970), he was among the four Brazilian participants in the Information exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, 1970.
