[Brazil@Harvard] Brazilian Film Series - Saudade Do Futuro - TONIGHT

*The Brazil Studies Program at Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies presents* Brazilian Film Series *Saudade Do Futuro* (2006) Directed by Cesar Paes This award-winning documentary tells the story of the cantadores, folk singers from the more underprivileged northeastern regions of Brazil, who land in the metropolis of São Paulo in search of better lives, fame and fortune. As the group performs, we learn about their everyday lives and struggles, including everything from their financial status to religious beliefs and personal relationships. The rhythm of one of the largest cities in the world, featuring the unique sounds of forró and repentismo, is brought to life through their stories and songs. *Tuesday, April 20* 6:00-8:00pm TSAI Auditorium, 1730 Cambridge Street Marcio Siwi, msiwi(a)fas.harvard.edu FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF THE BRAZIL STUDIES PROGRAM CALENDAR OF EVENTS GO TO: http://www.drclas.harvard.edu/brazil/events
