TOMORROW 5:30pm - Brazilian Film Screening: "A Sunday with Frederico Morais" (followed by Q&A with the director)

by DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program

*DRCLAS Film Series Event: Screening of A Sunday with Frederico Morais* *A Sunday with Frederico Morais* (2011), 60 minutes, in Portuguese (with English subtitles) Guilherme Coelho, Director Date: Thursday, October 13th Time: 5:30-8:00 pm Location: CGIS South, Tsai Auditorium (Room S-010), 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge Contact: Paola Ibarra, pibarra(a)fas.harvard.edu The film is an intimate encounter with Frederico Morais, art critic and creator of the Sundays of Creation, a series of events that shook up Rio de Janeiro's Museum of Modern Art between January and July 1971. With interviews with such artists as Cildo Meireles, Amir Haddad and Regina Casé, the documentary recounts Frederico's trajectory from his arrival in Rio in 1965 to his fundamental role in organizing the Sundays of Creation, while shedding light on his views on the relation between artists and critics. Premieres at Rio International Film Festival 2011 and Mostra Internacional de Cinema de São Paulo. Guilherme Coelho was born in 1979 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After graduating in Economics, while also studying journalism and theater (and being a lover of cinema), Guilherme directed his first feature-documentary, Fala Tu, Lives of Rhyme (Berlin Film Festival 2004) - a blissful encounter of filmmakers hungry for fulfilling experiences, and characters trying to make a living through music, poetry and politics in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, Guilherme has been involved in several projects at Matizar Filmes, directing three other documentaries, two TV series and producing seven other documentaries, including the latest two documentaries by Brazilian master filmmaker Eduardo Coutinho. After ten-years in documentary, Guilherme is now focused on learning and bringing to Matizar knowledge and methods for developing scripts in fiction, and meanwhile he will continue to produce documentaries directed by emerging and established talents. *This is the U.S. premiere of A Sunday With Frederico Morais. There will be a Q&A with the director (in English) following the screening.* *Co-sponsored by ARTS@DRCLAS and the DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program*
