ABOUT US
Festival Cinema Brasil 2009 will be held at the TSUTAYA theatre in Shibuya on October 3rd to the 9th and at the Cine Nouveau in Osaka city from October 10th to the 16th.
To celebrate the 5th year of “Festival Cinema Brasil”, producer Edison Mineki and the Festival Cinema Brasil Group will return to the beginnings of the festival. Respecting past achievements they will screen the best films shown at previous festivals and 3 films never released in Japan.
Following last year’s celebration of a century of Japanese Immigration to Brazil, this year we will celebrate 80 years of Japanese immigration to the Amazon state. For this occasion the festival will be showcasing films featuring Amazonas and related themes from Japanese directors.
The aim of Festival Cinema Brasil is to create an air of free cultural exchange and to reach audiences all over Japan, introducing them to the rich culture and history of Brazil and its people.
In the hope of strengthening Brazil’s image abroad, the festival will showcase works from Brazilian filmmakers encouraging people in Japan to learn more about Brazil. This would lead to more opportunities for the Brazilian film industry, giving them the chance to break into the commercial Japanese DVD and film market.
