NOT FOR CHILDREN. 2011.Truth Profane is a digital indie film that is based on an ancient theory called 'Profane'. The low-budget film, which was rejected by many film festivals because of its violent content, asks the audience the question: How much truth can you take? Set over six years, the film explores the relationships between truth, religion and the context of human existence on this planet. The narrative constantly changes between past, present and future; that line often becoming blurred as if to show the irrelevance of time. The film, which was the first from director, João Rocha, aims to explore the complexity of the human mind and, as such, darts between scenes of the 'real' and the 'imaginary'. Scenes of domestic violence are intercepted with ambiguous distortion, perhaps to reflect the mind's reaction to such events. Regional Daily, a local Brazilian paper, said of the film that it "offers insight beyond images". At times, indeed the imagery of the film is somewhat raw and -- as if on purpose -- the editing does not appear logical. Nor does the mise-en-scene appear particularly aesthetically pleasing in places. However, this film is all about the narrative. Marcio Curi - Executive Producer Test of Audience, summed it up: "[Profane is] a very different movie, very personal and exciting. Profane... has a strong and unquestionable personal signature of a new director.". 2011 - Lia Gomez - Executive Producer and Curator of Media Arts Festival La Plata - Argentina (www.fesaalp.com.ar): "The film is very interesting and uses a contemporary language of narrative construction and the imaginary construction of those around us. In the subject: philosophical at times, the sense of the world, truth, religion and human practices. All this elements connects with the political past, present and future, outlining a timeline of the history which suggests, as in "The Divine Comedy" (book listed) the condition of man on this earth. The film rehearses the labyrinths of the mind in this sense above lines expressing social construction as part of the story, the time between the past, present and future almost unconscious of the protagonist of the film. 2011 - I shut the machine Blog - by Helio Rodrigues "Profane does not measure the horny of a dream. João Rocha made a film never seen before in Brazil.... It's a film to be seen back to front as well. Seen and reviewed several times in search of its signs and symbols hidden" "A film that offers insight beyond images" 2011 - Regional Daily - RS - Fernando de Oliveira. "At a time where contemporary Brazilian cinema produces films with no interest in arguing and more concerned with the money, here comes Profane to clash with the current conformity" 2010 - Marcio Curi - Executive Producer Test of Audience. "A very different movie, very personal and exciting. Profane as film work has a strong and unquestionable personal signature of a new director."
