Dear All
The Third Discovering Latin American Film Festival in London






Dear All
Welcome to the _www.BrazilianArtists.net_ (http://www.brazilianartists.net/=
)
newsletter.
In this issue:
The Third Discovering Latin American Film Festival
_www.BrazilianArtists.net_ (http://www.brazilianartists.net/) is delighted=

to collaborate with
DISCOVERING LATIN AMERICA (registered charity 1106705)
during the Third Discovering Latin American Film
Festival, that will be held in London from the 25th November to the 5th
December.
The Festival brings to London a broad selection of original and
innovative productions, including 23 premieres made by selected
directors from ten countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.
Not to be missed is the homage to the Brazilian director Rogerio
Sganzerla and the UK Premiere of his films O Bandido da Luz Vermelha
and Brasil.
Rogerio Sganzerla is the Award-winning Brazilian director of
'Cinema Marginal', who passed away in January 2004. His wife, Helena
Ignez, herself a muse and actress extraordinaire of Brazilian Cinema
Novo, will introduce the premiere in the UK of The Red Light Bandit.
She will be joined by their daughter Djin Sganzerla, also an actress
and film-maker, for the Q&A session after the screening.

The Q&A session will be chaired by Adriana Rouanet, Lecturer on
Brazilian Culture and Cinema at Queen Mary, University of London and
Brazilian Contemporary Arts (BCA).

A milestone in Brazilian cinema, critics consider the Red Light
Bandit (1968) one of the best films ever made in Brazil and the most
representative of the Marginal or Udigrudi (underground) Cinema that
came to contest the Cinema Novo project. To some extent, it is the
cinematic equivalent of the tropicalist movement in Brazilian pop
music. Sganzerla's short-film Brazil (1981) will open the screening. It
was filmed on location at the music studios during recordings of Joao
Gilberto, with the participation of Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso and
Maria Bethania.

Friday 26, at 6.15pm - Screening of Brasil and The Red Light Bandit
followed by Q&A session (40 minutes duration)

Monday 29, at 8.45pm - Screening of Brasil and The Red Light Bandit
followed by informal talk (20 minutes duration)
