A week-long festival of Brazilian films starts on Saturday (Dec.4) at the National Cinema Center in Hanoi till Dec.10.
Brazilian cinema started in 1889 with the Rio de Janeiro based film-maker, Afonso Segreto. Since then Brazil has made a name for producing comedies in the 1950s, musical animations and films influenced by the French New Wave of the 1960’s.
The festival which is called “Panorama of Brazilian Movies” will screen seven films that are suitable for all ages including Romance; Os desafinados (Out of Tune ); O auto da compadecida (The Passion of Christ); Meu nome nao e Johnny (My Name is Not Johnny); Noel, o poeta da Vila (Noel-The Samba Poet); Dois filhos de Francisco (Two Sons of Francisco); and the documentary Peoes (Metal Workers) by Eduardo Countinho about the labor strikes of 1979-1980.
All films will be screened in Portuguese with Vietnamese subtitles. Free tickets are available at National Cinema Center, 87 Lang Ha Street, Hanoi or at the Brazilian Embassy, The Apartment T-72, 12 Thuy Khue Street in Hanoi.
