Brasil Verdade
Paulo Gil Soares, Geraldo Sarno
Pelé, Vicente Feola
In the late 1960s, Thomas Farkas imported equipment suitable for direct sound, and released a collection of documentaries called "Brasil Verdade" ("True Brazil"), after the Military Coup d'État took place in Brazil, which happened without any popular resistance or revolution or reaction of the society. The five short films are directly related to this fact and its consequences to the country.
True Brazil
Candango: Memórias do Festival
Lino Meireles
Carlos Diegues, Milton Gonçalves
In 1965, a year after the military coup in Brazil, an oasis of freedom opened in the country's capital. The Brasília Film Festival: a landmark of cultural and political resistance. Its story is that of Brazilian cinema itself.

O Profeta da Fome
Maurice Capovila
José Mojica Marins, Maurício do Valle
The story of a fakir who works in a decadent circus. He and his colleagues do weirder numbers each day to attract audience, and warrant their survival. The numbers resemble a horror-show and they get marginalized. Through fable and allegory, reality turns stronger and stronger, and more absurd.
The Prophet of Hunger
O Bom Cinema
Eugênio Puppo
Carlos Reichenbach, Rogério Sganzerla
An authentically marginal cinema created in Catholic university in Brazil. One of the most intriguing and imaginative moments in modern cinema in the voice of some of its select conspirators—with Carlos Reichenbach at the lead—, and through the most razing flow of images that can possibly be conceived.
The Good Cinema
Crônica À Beira do Rio
Maurice Capovila
Jorge Dória, Joel Barcellos
Rio de Janeiro is a city of very well defined contrast between the seafront, narrow, where the rich live and very close, the hills with their slums, where life changes very quickly in the short space of time.

O Bandido da Luz Vermelha
Rogério Sganzerla
Paulo Villaça, Helena Ignez
Born and raised in the misery of Brazilian slums, Jorge becomes a luxury house burglar in São Paulo and gets nicknamed "The Red Light Bandit" by the sensationalist press.

His world is the decadent neighbourhood of Boca do Lixo.
