Short movie - Fiction

Director: Carlos Adriano

Synopsis: Miécio Caffé (Bahia 1920 - São Paulo 2003), caricaturist and music collector, who portrayed Brazilian scene - music, sports, politics - from the 50s to the 90s and gathered the largest collection of Brazilian music records.
Caetano Veloso has recorded specially for this film an unknown "marchinha" (traditional genre of Brazil’s carnival music from 40s) intitled "The People’s Voice".
" This film is a rigorous yet poetic and atmospheric portrait of Caffé, a beloved Brazilian caricaturist and music collector. Caffé’s caricatures from the 1950s to the 1990s are brought to vibrant life by the camera and the film’s spellbinding soundtrack. " (MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art New York, program note)
" This short film is a vigorous, affectionate, and inventive piece on portraitist and cartoonist Caffé, featuring an original composition by lionized singer/songwriter Caetano Veloso. " (Film Forum New York, program note)
