Resumo(s)
O futebol, mais do que um simples desporto, é um fenómeno cultural que move
massas. Filmei diversos jogos do Varzim Sport Club da Póvoa de Varzim e pretendo, através do
documentário observacional, olhar para o futebol como mais do que uma simples forma de
entretenimento, mas como um espaço lúdico e de pertença onde as pessoas, ao abdicarem do seu
espaço pessoal, conquistam uma liberdade fornecida pela massa adepta – como ser orgânico
constituído por corpos onde as suas diversas vontades convergem em pura igualdade – e
potenciada pelo jogo no qual participam de bom agrado. Procuro argumentar que a expressão
emocional da multidão no estádio mantém viva a memória colectiva dos seus antepassados que
constitui a sua identidade, vendo no acto de rememoração uma qualidade performativa. O
cinema pode, através do potencial evocativo da montagem, confrontar o duplo paradoxo da
memória – nas suas dimensões simultaneamente invisíveis e visuais – e defender quem filma.
Permitindo-me ser embalado pelo mar poveiro, tento ver o jogo através do 12º jogador.
Football, more than just a sport, is a cultural phenomenon that moves masses. I filmed several Varzim Sport Club games, in Póvoa de Varzim, and pretend, through observational documentary, look at football as more than a simple form of entertainment, but instead as space of recreation and belonging where people, by giving up their personal space, gain a freedom provided by the fan mass – an organic being made of bodies whose diverse wills converge in pure equality – and enhanced by the game in which they willingly participate. I will argue that the emotional expression of the crowd in the stadium keeps the collective memory of their ancestors, which constitutes their identity, alive, seeing in the act of remembrance a performative quality. Cinema can, through the evocative potential of montage, confront the double paradox of memory – in its simultaneously invisible and visual dimensions – and defend those who are filmed. Allowing myself to be rocked by the Póvoa sea, I attempt to see the game through the 12th player.
