Synopsis

In 1930, Brazilian filmmaker and poet Mario Peixoto produced *Limite*, a two-hour silent film widely regarded as a masterpiece of Brazilian film history. The film was inspired by European expressionist and avant-garde cinema. In 2014, Joel Pizzini paid homage to *Limite* and its filmmaker by creating a film montage using images from the original film and additional documentary material, including interviews from the 1970s and 1980s. Peixoto never completed another film, despite continuing to work on various projects. *Mar de Fogo* also includes a freely imagined new sequence for Peixoto’s next, but never completed film, as envisioned by Joel Pizzini. The sequence attempts to invoke Peixoto’s vision in *Limite* and to visually explore the feeling he had when he was inspired to create the film.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
