Goiânia: capital do rock independente

Abstract

Goiânia: capital do rock independente' presents the trajectory of the alternative scene in Goiânia and its development in counterpoint to the cultural dominance of sertanejo (Brazilian country music). Through accounts from artists, producers, and bands, the documentary reveals how spaces like the Martim Cererê and the Goiânia Noise festival fueled the emergence of diverse original movements, uniting generations under the aesthetic and attitude of rock. The work also highlights the challenges faced by the independent circuit from the lack of public policies and funding notices to the difficulty of professionalization while simultaneously emphasizing the persistence of artists who continue to produce out of passion. In essence, the film seeks to understand how Goiânia's rock scene formed, resisted, and continues to transform, leaving lasting marks on the city's culture.
