Tribute to Rogerio Sganzerla:
www.BrazilianArtists.net and the III DLA Film Fest
are honoured to pay tribute to Rogério Sganzerla,
the Award-winning Brazilian director of 'Cinema Marginal',
who passed away in January 2004. His wife, Helena
Ignez, herself a muse/actress 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
sessions 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. The
documentary Brazil (1981) was filmed on location
at the music studios during recordings of João
Gilberto, with the participation of Gilberto Gil,
Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia.
