LAND (1995), his work prior to the award-winning CENTRAL STATION. All screenings take
place at UCLA’s James Bridges’ Theater located on the northeast side of the UCLA

pivotal films considered to be the beginning of Brazilian cinema and, in the process,
introduced to world audiences filmmakers such as Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Carlos Diegues,
Gláuber Rocha and Nelson Pereira dos Santos. Additionally, the series features new
productions from the next generation of Brazilian filmmakers who have demonstrated new
courses for Brazilian cinema and who are earning a new legion of fans with global
recognition much like their predecessors almost three decades before.

Tickets for the film series are available one hour before showtime
at the James Bridges Theater. Admission is $6 general and $4 for students and seniors
.
The theater is located at the northeast corner of the UCLA campus, near the intersection
