From the cadence of samba to the rhythms of the city streets and favela slopes, from introspective meditations to the portrayal of social struggles, “Documenta Brazil” sounds the beat of a dynamic, multi-faceted country. This documentary film series showcases a new generation of filmmakers who are changing Brazilian cinema with their cinematographic sophistication, and their rigorous questioning of the nature of authorial responsibility. The festival also features live music, Q & A sessions with the directors and a round table. Confirmed guests include Sandra Kogut, João Moreira Salles, Guto Barra, and Beco Dranoff.
Curated by Micaela Kramer and Fernando Perez, and with a selection of shorts curated by Moara Rossetto. Check website for more information.
Co-sponsored by the NYU Coordinating Council for Music, the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), the NYU Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Albert Schweitzer Chair in the Humanities and NYU Department of Comparative Literature.
