The 3rd Vancouver Brazilian Film Festival will take place at the Vancity Theatre from July 15th-18th, courtesy of the Inffinito Festival Circuit. 10 of the top Brazilian productions from the second half of 2009 onwards will be gracing the screen over the three days, culminating with the Cristal Lens Award being presented to the best film as chosen by YOU on the festival's closing night.
There will also be a special FREE panel discussion on July 17th at 2pm with two Brazilian film industry professionals: producer and distributor Bianca Felippes, and journalist and film critic Wilson Cunha.
A discussion about current cinematic production in Brazil, touching upon cultural diversity, the new energy coming from the margins and rising to the surface of Brazilian cinema - a cinema tradition that has migrated from the middle and upper class youth to include not only a totally new generation of lower income communities, yet moreover, new means of funding and exhibition and the formation of newly "connected" audiences.
