One of the most intriguing and imaginative moments in modern cinema in the voice of some of its select conspirators—with Carlos Reichenbach at the lead—, and through the most razing flow of images that can possibly be conceived.

A totally Cardoso-appropriated footage delirium, done as a tribute to US independent cinema's original rebel. In the end, Corman himself blesses Cardoso by saying: "You blended horror, sex and humour very well. And particularly the editing is very good because the film never lagged or slowed down".

Using home movies and other media, a filmmaker returns to Sintra, Portugal to search for memories of her late husband, Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha.
Documentary on "Antonio das Mortes", Glauber Rocha's 1969 film.
The documentary "Depois do Transe" covers the entire process of creating the masterpiece "Entranced Earth", which was released and awarded at the Cannes Film Festival in 1967. "Entranced Earth" charmed the world and won great admirers such as filmmaker Martim Scorsese and the writer Marguerite Duras, who at the time considered a "fabulous filmic opera."
Contemporary film critics regard the epic film I Am Cuba as a modern masterpiece. The 1964 Cuban/Soviet coproduction marked a watershed moment of cultural collaboration between two nations. Yet the film never found a mass audience, languishing for decades until its reintroduction as a "classic" in the 1990s. Vicente Ferraz explores the strange history of this cinematic tour de force, and the deeper meaning for those who participated in its creation.

Documentary about Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha, one of the most important names in the Cinema Novo, with interviews with some of his friends and colleagues.
Documental sobre el exilio del realizador brasileño Glauber Rocha en Cuba durante 1971 y un diálogo entre el Cinema Novo de Brasil y el cine revolucionario cubano. Dos entrevistas grabadas en La Habana y la Estética del sueño, fueron puntos de partida de este filme que no es sobre Glauber, sino a través de Glauber. Rocha que voa es un documental que demuestra que el cine político, poético, revolucionario y de ficción de Glauber Rocha (como el de nuestro Raymundo Gleyzer) no es un cine que gusta. Es un cine que apasiona.

Filme de montagem realizado no exílio de 1971 a 1973 entre Cuba e Roma. É considerado um trabalho “semi-acabado” de Glauber que tem um certo caráter pedagógico e procura através de uma montagem dialética fazer uma revisão crítica da colonização, da luta de classes, do messianismo e da implantação dos governos populistas no Terceiro Mundo. Há uma cronologia nos fatos apresentados que, apoiados em vasta iconografia (filmes, gravuras, fotos,etc...) operam, contudo, associações “livres” que permitem ao espectador uma visão “polifônica” da “Hystorya do Brazyl”.
