Brazilian Film Festival
All the colour, vibrancy and diversity of Brazilian cinema is coming to the Chauvel in November.
Overview
Brazil is a sensory extravaganza. A colourful melting pot of ethnicities, the flavours of the country’s multifarious cuisines and the sounds of its rhythmic sambas — hell, even its biodiversity and natural sights — are almost as overwhelming as its frenzied 46-day annual street party.
The Brazilian Film Festival is coming to Sydney on November 14, and should be a similarly engrossing display of unity in diversity. Audiences will experience the images, sounds, scents and flavours of Brazil by laughing with the comedy of errors Cilada.com, travelling to the Amazon with a feast of images in Tamboro and preparing for the frenzy of Carnival in Rio with the inside perspectives of The Samba Within.
The twelve films being screened represent the best and most awarded of the latest crop of Brazilian cinema, which has had a long tradition in Brazil and gained a new level of international acclaim in recent years. We hate to rely on Rotten Tomatoes reviews for proof, but when City of God and Bus 174 have received a combined 213 positive ratings — giving the latter an impressive score of 99% — we have to conclude that Brazilian cinema is 'certified fresh' indeed.
