Resumo
O projeto BLOD visa criar experiências cinematográficas multivocais através de práticas corporais. A investigação explora a construção de relações através de uma metodologia feminista de criação de lacunas e fricção - entre o público, a história, o tempo, a matéria e os co-criadores. O projeto pergunta: como contar histórias multifacetadas e não exploradoras de estados de vida e morte relacionados com o útero, raramente retratados no cinema? E como perturbar as hierarquias da indústria cinematográfica através de uma prática colaborativa que mantém a integridade artística individual e promove a autoria colectiva? O método BLOD é articulado como um Manifesto, escrito para acomodar uma multiplicidade de conteúdos, formas e modos de colaboração, ao mesmo tempo que exige interdisciplinaridade, honestidade e assunção de riscos. O método é não-linear, em looping, e incorporado nas manifestações da investigação: filmes, performances, apresentações, etc. Através deste artigo, são abordados diferentes aspectos do método BLOD em relação às actividades de investigação do BLOD: criar blocos de construção cinematográficos que permitam e induzam a multiplicidade, a improvisação e a fluidez da forma; partilhar experiências pessoais através de processos documentais ficcionados; lidar com a ética nas relações interpessoais e ecológicas. O artigo propõe que a reflexão crítica e a vulnerabilidade são parte integrante da produção cinematográfica e oferece este estudo de caso como exemplo para o desenvolvimento de métodos noutros projectos de investigação ou filmes - especialmente aqueles que se estendem, emaranham e desafiam a categorização por campo ou disciplina.

The BLOD project aims to create multivocal cinematic experiences through embodied practices. The research explores relation-building through a feminist methodology of creating gaps and friction – between audience, story, time, matter, and co-creators. The project asks, how to tell multifaceted, non-exploitive stories of womb-related states of life and death, rarely depicted in cinema? And how to disturb film industry hierarchies through a collaborative practice that maintains individual artistic integrity and promotes collective authorship? The BLOD method is articulated as a Manifesto, written to accommodate a multitude of contents, forms, and modes of collaboration, while demanding cross-disciplinarity, honesty and risk-taking. The method is non-linear, looping, and embedded in the manifestations of the research: films, performances, presentations, etc. Through this paper, different aspects of the BLOD method are tossed around in relation to BLOD research activities; making cinematic building blocks that allow and induce multiplicity, improvisation, and fluidity of form; sharing personal experiences through fictionalized documentary processes; dealing with ethics in interpersonal and ecological relations. The paper proposes that critical reflection and vulnerability are integral to film production and offers this case study as an example for method development in other research projects or films – especially ones that sprawl, tangle, and defy categorization by field or discipline. Keywords: Collaboration, Embodied practice, Film editing, Filmmaking, Methodology, Relation-building, Scriptwriting
