FOCUS BRAZILThe History of EternityFor a Brazilian visionWhat comes to mind when we think of Brazil? Football, postcards, samba? Economicdevelopment or the 'favela' (township)?For people seeking a deeper understanding of Brazil, film can be the window tothis complex, diverse and often unequal country.Characterised by thematic diversity and heterogeneous aesthetics, Braziliancinema allows us a global vision through the fascinating culture of film.1236th Durban International Film Festival
This Focus at the 36th DIFF presents a wide range of different genres and formatsfrom different regions, with the objective of bringing to the South African audience anoverview of the rich culture of Brazilian cinema.The films (released between 2013-2014) had to pass through a rigorous selectionprocess as 129 Brazilian titles were released in 2013 alone.Two feature films from the north-east State of Pernambuco, had huge national andinternational festival success: The History of Eternity by Camilo Cavalcanti and a movingBrazilian Dream, an opera movie directed by Marcelo Pedroso that depicts the brazilianeconomical circles.From central Brazil and around the capital Brasília comes the movie White Out,Black In. Directed by Adirley Queiroz and through the black swing of a DJ, the film dealswith social criticism of a non-inclusive divided country longing for transformation.Casa Grande or The Ballad Of Poor Jean, directed by Felipe Barbosa, deals with the hugesocial divide between rich and poor in Brazil. The title alludes to the book of sociologistGilberto Freyre, Casa-Grande & Senzala (1933), that analyses Brazilian society duringthe slavery period. Many years later, the social apartheid is still visible in the cultural,imaginary and socio-economical relations of the country.From Rio de Janeiro, the urban township, comes the principal theme of thedocumentary City of God – 10 Years Later, directed by Cavi Borges and Luciano Vidigal,which investigates the lives of the cast of the movie by Fernando Meirelles following itsworld success. Naked Eye deals with one of the most talented Brazilian musicians, NeyMato Grosso. Directed by Joel Pizzini, this is a treat for audiences.Short films often attain the status of masterpiece. Brazilian shorts The Club by AllanRibeiro, Heartless by Nara Normande and Xirê by Marcelo Pinheiro are such short films.We hope that this will be the first of Brazil's growing participation at the DIFF, andwe look forward to closer bilateral relations between South Africa and Brazil throughco-productions, distribution of films and cultural relations. We are convinced that ourrespective audiences will appreciate this opportunity to share and exchange ideas andstrengthen our unique film cultures.Carla OsórioCurator36th Durban International Film Festival13
