NEW YORK CITY - The Museum of Modern Art presents Premiere Brazil!, its sixth annual exhibition of contemporary Brazilian cinema, July 17 through 31, 2008. A collaboration between MoMA and the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, this series introduces New York audiences to original films by both new and established Brazilian filmmakers. The 10 feature and documentary films comprising this year’s selection demonstrate the vitality and depth of contemporary Brazilian filmmaking, ranging from Marcos Jorge’s Estômago: A Gastronomic Story (2007), a comic fable that also serves as a gastronomic allegory for ambition and survival, to Cao Guimarães’ Andarilho (Drifter) (2007), a story of three lonely drifters, the second installment in Guimarães’ ambitious trilogy on solitude. As in previous years, Premiere Brazil! also includes a rich variety of vibrant films about Brazilian music and musicians, including the international premiere of The Mystery of Samba and the world premiere of The Man Who Bottled Clouds, director Lirio Ferreira’s engrossing portrait of popular songwriter Humberto Teixeira. Most filmmakers will be present to introduce the first screenings of their films. Click on logo below to add this article to your favorite Social Website ~ |
