S o Paulo, June 18, 2024 - To celebrate Brazilian Cinema Day on June 19, Netflix will release a lineup of films titled Absolute Brazilian Cinema. These movies, which are part of a campaign using the same name, have been chosen to celebrate the richness and diversity of Brazilian filmmaking. The collection includes everything from critically acclaimed contemporary films and box-office hits from myriad genres to celebrated documentaries. It also includes iconic movies such as Central Station; Foreign Land; Rio, 40 Degrees; Playing; and S o Paulo, Sociedade An nima.
The Absolute Brazilian Cinema collection, as with the entire campaign, underscores Netflixs commitment to supporting and promoting Brazilian filmmaking, highlighting local stories and collaborating with Brazilian talent. As part of this celebration, Netflix also announced a partnership with Gabriel Martins, from the production company Filmes de Pl stico, to develop the movie Vicentina Pede Desculpas. Gabriel is a visionary filmmaker whose work reflects the authenticity and diversity of Brazilian culture. This partnership represents another major step within our commitment to supporting the Brazilian film industry and to bringing authentically Brazilian stories to a wider audience," says Gabriel Gurman, Netflixs director of films in Brazil.
As part of this commitment, Netflix also recently announced two new films in development: Caramelo, which will star a caramel-colored mutt of the type thats become an icon in Brazil; and a literary adaptation of Paulo Coelhos classic novel The Pilgrimage.
Later this year, the film Bittersweet Rain, directed by Haroldo Borges, will arrive on Netflix. The movie won the Netflix Prize at the S o Paulo International Film Festival in 2023. "We aim to be the go-to source for quality Brazilian films for all kinds of viewers. Our selection needs to represent the creative potential, richness, and diversity of Brazilian film and cultivate an audience that appreciates movies made in Brazil," Gabriel stated.
