Estúdio Carmine — Mirage

Mirage is a portrait of Estúdio Carmine, where five generations of woodworking meet contemporary design. Shot on a single roll of expired 16mm, the film follows Tiago Datti and Fernanda Maleski as they shape Brazilian wood through memory, craft, and a deep respect for the material itself.
