And so it is. The Festival is over.

I leave it a better and changed person in a way. Each day more certain I want to make a movie someday: be able to affect people the way movies affect me. Be able to be a part of this complex process I call art in its most pure form.

For my 18th birthday, I want a video camera. That'll be my reply to each and everyone that asks me that question in a few months, and, maybe putting some money together, I'll be able to have it.

Meanwhile, I'll keep studying Law, with which, I too am falling in love everyday more and more. I am young, and I have time. Time to study, time to work, time to live.

Or at least I like to think so.

I leave you all with a list of the movies I saw, a short comment on each of them, and quoting the brilliant Clarissa Vaughan:

( I can show you my favourite obsession )
"I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then." - Clarissa Vaughan, The Hours.

Post scriptum I: I've had three tests so far. Three ahead. Wish me luck. I'll need it.
Post scriptum II: São Paulo International Film Festival, here I come!
Post scriptum III: Yours truly is working on Video Post #3, and will post as soon as it's done.
