Three Albinos Telling Jokes by the Fireplace
2013-01-01 | 3 minutes
Plot Summary
A staged production shot in Maputo with the help of the Associação de Apoio aos Albinos de Moçambique. Persecuted throughout Africa the albino condition has a disturbing appearance of racial ambiguity which for the worst reasons has been the cause of suffering for a lot of people. Complexifying the racial a perception, Pedro and João create the awkward situation where 3 black albinos share jokes about the former colonial power in Moçambique, the Portuguese. Somehow what is staged here as a meta film, concerns a colonial phantasmagoria but is also a literal spin of the third man argument (TMA) Aristotle’s contestation of Plato’s theory of forms. If 2 men resemble each other, in order to be predicative as men, there would have to be a form of men, this form would have to be a man also, and it would follow that for that same form another on would have to exist and so on, on a infinite regression.
