Chapeleiros

Directed by Adrian Cooper

An attentive and time-consuming observation of the daily life of workers in a hat factory - entering the factory, the rhythm of the machines, the rhythm of manual work, the steam, the brief and precious break for lunch, the mechanical gesture of the worker repeated over and over again countless times, the silhouettes of bodies. The only foray into direction by the prolific photographer and art director of Brazilian cinema, Adrian Cooper.
