BRAZILIAN FILMS

LOS ANGELES – The UCLA Film and
Television Archive presents CINEMA NOVO & BEYOND, February 11 – March 21, 1999.
This comprehensive Brazilian cinema retrospective is the first in Los Angeles in over
decade. The series will showcase important films from the 60’s to the current
explosion of Brazilian moviemaking including director Walter Salles Jr.’s FOREIGN
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
college campus.
The series, CINEMA NOVO & BEYOND, provides an opportunity to see
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
of Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue. Parking is available for $5 in Lot 3.
