Arne Sucksdorff: Uma Vida Documentando a Vida
Himself
Chronically Unfeasible

Barrela: Escola de Crimes
Fumaça

As Aventuras de Sérgio Mallandro
Zé Cocada
Sérgio Mallandro is chosen by an alien to be the one to receive special powers to do good. But before that he must prove his worth and kind heart by rescuing a girl's pet. Along the way, he is frequently hampered by an envious villain.
Chico Rei
Galanga, king of Congo brought to Brazil as a slave, finds gold in Vila Rica, in the State of Minas Gerais, and buys his enfranchisement, the properties of his former owner, and his companions' freedom, becoming Chico Rei, the first black man to own lands in Brazil.
Parceiros da Aventura
Fish in a Barrel
Young robber, son of a prostitute who had killed herself, gets involved with two police informers, who force him to share the loot he gets.
The Fall
Operário
An accident at a construction site, resulting in one death, sets one worker off on a struggle for justice that exposes the mechanisms of exploitation and the class relations of a country that had undergone one decade of fast-paced ‘conservative modernisation’ at the hands of the military. As a sort of sequel to the classic The Guns (1964), following the fate of those characters as they move from enforcers of exploitation to exploited, it offers more than a snapshot of the period: the correspondent time lapses in fiction and reality capture the passage of a chunk of Brazilian history between the two films, and, therefore, also the transformations in cinematographic approaches to the social and political between the two moments. Equally daring in content and form, and in the originality of the adequacy of one to the other, it won the Silver Bear at Berlin.
Robin Hood, O Trapalhão da Floresta
Joãozinho Barra-limpa
The Robin Hood from the movie The Trapalhões and his pack ruin the plans of a farmer named João Climério. He wanted to take the lands of his deceased brother and leave his niece Catherine with nothing. During a showdown, Robin Hood is injured and needs to be replaced at the helm of the group. And then the funny confusions begin! As a substitute is chosen Zé Grilo, a modest and at the same time confused pawn, who in the end manages to unmask Climero and save the beautiful Catherine for which he has a passion. In this mission it is aided by the companion Willie and also by a magic wand and a protective pen, provided by an Indian sorcerer.
O Picapau Amarelo
Saci
Arrastão
My Home Is Copacabana

This feature from acclaimed Swedish director Arne Sucksdorff appeared at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival.
