O Homem Pode Voar describes Santos Dumont work, the man who contributed for the aviation development. The film recovers at least seventeen minutes of Santos Dumont images, which were thought nonexistent or lost forever.

O Homem Pode Voar

The documentary’s starting point is the discovery and restoration of a rare and unknown photography reel reproduced from a mutoscope film, made in 1901 in London, about Santos Dumont (1873 – 1932). The work approaches historic and artistic aspects from the beginning of Cinema (pre cinema, variety film) and a cinema that appropriates archive material (found footage, recycled films), through interviews, documents, visual metaphors and the articulation of a poetic essay.
