Slide is a single-channel video that thinks over the failure of an utopia as an idealized projection of the course of the history. Starting from the complex interaction between the Cidade da Cultura and a social group of skaters, Slide emphasizes the need to create new utopias not from private dreams, but from collective desires. Institution and periphery are joined in a fiction shooted in Museo Gaiás and ponders on the uncertainty as the only way of managing the path to the future.
