Brazil Chapter of CCTV's large-scale documentary "BRICS Country"

1) ARUANDA, 1960, 20 minutes, black and white, 35mm, director: Linduarte Noronha, photography: Rucker Vieira.

One of the most important Brazilian New Wave documentaries of the 1960s. This film, full of poetic images and realistic humanistic care, records the daily life of a family living in the arid region of Paraba State in eastern Brazil. They are descendants of the "Quilombo" (a small group that successfully escaped during the original slavery period). (a resistance group composed of indigenous people), living a hard and simple life on the barren land like their fathers. Due to the neglect of the authoritarian government, they were completely isolated from the rest of Brazil. The film was shot in the early days of the New Wave movement, aiming to find the true roots of the Brazilian people. The director was a pioneer of Brazilian left-wing films.

2) CARMEN SANTOS, 1969, 16 minutes, black and white, 35mm, director: Jurandy Passos Noronha, cinematography: Andre Palluch, editor: Julio Heibron, producer: Eduardo Ruegg.

The documentary is about the famous Brazilian actress and producer Carmen Santos (1904-1952) in the 1930s. Carmen Santos played a key role in the development of Brazilian national cinema. She starred in classic silent films such as Humberto Moreau's "Blood of the Miners" and Mario Pisotto's "The Limits" and spent 10 years After years of hard work, she finally completed "Minera Can't Be Trusted," one of the most expensive films in Brazilian film history, in 1948, becoming the first female director in Brazil. The documentary splices together rare photos and film clips from her early years.

8) DREZNICA, 2008, 14 minutes, color + black and white, 8mm->35mm, director: Anna Azevedo, photography: Anna Azevedo, editor: Eva Randolph, music: Rodrigo Marcal + Lucas Marcier . Awards: 2008 Berlin International Film Festival Panorama Section Brazil Screening Film; 2008 Rio de Janeiro Film Festival Best Experimental Short Film Award.

"DREZNICA" means "Snow on the Sea". This experimental documentary is the new work of Brazilian female director Ana Azevedo. Her last work "Berlin Ball" won the Berlin Film Festival Today Berlin Award in the short film section, but I only have this one at the moment. This film collects some 8mm images taken by Anna herself, about her family, children and travel life. It is a typical "private documentary" (Naomi Kawase's style) and can also represent what Brazilian independent filmmakers are trying. A new creative field.
