"Partir" is a documentary organized by layers of time. Mounted with old files, pictures and music, Partir shows the story of a family. Current images of demolition of a property, family patrimony, are united and files in super-8 recorded by the father, in the seventies, and mounted with a soundtrack with lyrical songs executed by the mother between the years 1970 and 2005. In the middle of the demolition scenes, the children play and dance with their mother's songs, recorded inside the house.

SONIA GUGGISBERG
Brazilian of Swiss origin, Sonia Guggisberg lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil. She holds a PhD in Communication and Semiotics from the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC-SP), a postdoctoral degree from the School of Communication and Arts of the University of São Paulo (ECA-USP), and a Master's degree in Arts from the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). Guggisberg works as an artist, videomaker, and researcher, participating in solo and group exhibitions, lectures, and workshops in Brazil and abroad since the 1990s. From 2007 to 2013, she developed the project [(I)mmobility] on human confinement and the redesign of cities. The result was a series of video installations that generate emotional pressure, opposing the desire for movement with its impossibility. She is currently developing research on the redesign of identities, human confinement, borders, and walls in different possibilities. Through site-specific, multichannel, video and sound installation artistic interventions, he has developed studies in experimental videographic language for art documentaries and cinema. His production has been seen in the USA, Germany, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, Chile, Bulgaria, Croatia, Malta, France, Denmark, Canada and Portugal.
