The End and the Beginning (O fim e o princípio) (Brazil, 2006)
Directed by Eduardo Coutinho.
In The End and the Beginning, Eduardo Coutinho heads to the small sertão state of Paraíba Brazil with no preconceived ideas other than wanting to film a rural community. After finding a small town to shoot in, Coutinho settles into a series of lively conversations with the town’s residents. Coutinho’s reputation as one of cinema’s great interviewers is on ample display as we witness a series of remarkably personal and moving encounters between filmmaker and his subjects.
Screenwriter: Eduardo Coutinho. Cinematographer: Jacques Cheuiche. Editor: Jordana Berg.

The Earth Giveth, The Earth Taketh Away (Terra deu, terra come) (Brazil, 2009)
Directed by Rodrigo Siqueria.
Filmmaker Rodrigo Siqueira set out to profile Pedro de Alexina, one of the last guardians of the funeral traditions brought by Africans to the Brazilian mining region of Diamantina in the 18th century, but his ethnographic portrait quickly becomes something else altogether. As de Alexina spins his tales and legends for Siqueira, he conjures such a vivid world beyond time and space that the very idea of the real seems to slip away.
7 Estrelo Filmes, Tango Zulu Filmes.
88 mins | Portuguese with English subtitles
