BRAZILIAN MOVIES AT THE 23RD ANUAL PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL JANUARY 05-16, 2012 Elite Squad: The Enemy Within Saturday, January 07, 7:00 PM Palm Springs Regal 9 ELIT0712 Sunday, January 08, 5:00 PM Palm Springs Regal 9 ELIT0812 Elite Squad: The Enemy Within Tropa de Elite - 0 Inimigo Agora E Outro Brazil, 2010, 115 Minute Running Time Topics: Crime, Drama, Latino, Thriller Program: Awards Buzz : Best Foreign Language Film Language: Portuguese English Sub-Titles Captain Nascimento, the head of the Special Police Operations Battalion in Rio de Janeiro, leads an effort to put down an uprising in a maximum-security prison. The operation ends in deadly violence and he loses his job, but the people of Rio consider him a hero, and he’s given a powerful government post. Nascimento throws everything he’s got at the city’s druglords, and at first he’s successful, driving them out of the city’s slums, but soon he finds that dirty cops aligned with the Governor have taken advantage of the new power vacuum to set up a ruthless system of extortion.Director José Padilha delivers a gritty realism rooted in his background in documentary filmmaking: his 2002 debut, Bus 174, was a huge success, winning awards worldwide. Featuring an iconic, bravura performance by Wagner Moura as Nascimento, this sequel to the 2007 hit delivers the heart-pounding adrenalin rush of the best action films—but it’s equally committed to exposing the complex realities of the world it portrays. The highest-grossing film of all time in Brazil. DIRECTOR: José Padilha Producer: Marcos Prado, José Padilha Editor: Daniel Rezende Screenwriter: José Padilha, Bráulio Mantovani Cinematographer: Lula Carvalho Music: Pedro Bromfman Principal Cast: Wagner Moura, André Ramiro, André Mattos, Sandro Rocha, Maria Ribeiro, Milhem Cortaz, Irandhir Santos, Seu Jorge, Tainá Muller Filmography: Secrets of the Tribe (2010), Elite Squad (2007), Bus 174 (2003) The Silver Cliff Friday, January 06, 10:30 AM Palm Springs Regal 9 SILV0612 Friday, January 13, 8:00 PM Camelot Theatres SILV1312 Sunday, January 15, 2:00 PM Camelot Theatres SILV1512 The Silver Cliff O Abismo Prateado Brazil, 2011, 85 Minute Running Time Topics: Drama, Latino, Women Program: World Cinema Language: Portuguese English Sub-Titles When her husband tells her in a voicemail that he’s leaving forever, Violeta heads for Porto Alegre, determined to find him. Unable to get a plane, she finds herself instead slowly getting in touch with her identity, whether wandering the streets of Rio de Janeiro or dancing by herself in a club to “Maniac,” in a funny and poignant nod to Flashdance. On the beach at night she meets a young father and daughter, two similarly bruised souls, and spends a few gentle and caring hours with them, drawing some strength to move forward with her life. Director Karim Aïnouz has won international praise and multiple awards for a string of films starting with Madam Sata (2002). He gets a powerful and nuanced lead performance from Alessandra Negrini as Violeta; heartthrob Thiago Martins and the charming young Camila Amado, as the young father and daughter, lend outstanding support. DP Mauro Pinheiro creates inspired visual parallels between the ocean, the luminescent city streets, and the characters’ inner turmoil in this thoughtful, beautifully crafted, and emotionally rewarding film. DIRECTOR: Karim Ainouz Producer: Rodrigo Teixeira Editor: Isabela Monteiro De Castro Screenwriter: Beatriz Bracher, Karim Aïnouz Cinematographer: Mauro Pinheiro Jr Music: Tejo Damasceno, Rica Amabis, Dustan Gallas Principal Cast: Alessandra Negrini, Otto Jr., Thiago Martins, Gabi Pereira, Carla Ribas Filmography: I Travel Because I Have To, I Come Back Because I Love You (2009), Suely in the Sky (2006), Madame Sata (2002) Jose and Pilar Sunday, January 08, 3:30 PM Palm Springs Regal 9 JOSE0812 Tuesday, January 10, 1:30 PM Palm Springs Regal 9 JOSE1012 Jose and Pilar José e Pilar Portugal, 2010, 117 Minute Running Time Additional Countries: Spain, Brazil Topics: Documentary, History, Latino, Romance Program: Awards Buzz : Best Foreign Language Film Language: Portuguese, Spanish English Sub-Titles An unforgettable love story of genuine soul-mates, José and Pilar chronicles two years in the incredible life of José Saramago, the Portuguese winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and his firebrand Spanish wife Pilar del Rio. Director Miguel Gonçalves Mendes captures touching, intimate moments with Saramago—in his 80s at the time of filming—and plenty of his wit and wisdom, as he navigates an incredible around-the-world itinerary of high-profile events, always with Pilar by his side. When a sudden health scare puts his life and the completion of his latest novel on the line, the power of Pilar’s love, determination, and dedication is put to the ultimate test.Saramago’s story is the stuff of legends—he had to abandon his studies after fourth grade and didn’t come to public attention until age 60. Gonçalves Mendes gets astonishing access to the author and his wife, and crafts his film with impressive style and energy. He artfully intercuts the punishing rhythm of Saramago’s public appearances with thoughtful, up-close-and-personal footage of two highly controversial, larger-than-life personalities DIRECTOR: Miguel Goncalves Mendes Producer: Agustín Almodóvar, Miguel Goncalves, Mendes, Fernando Meirelles Editor: Cláudia Rita Oliveira Cinematographer: Daniel Neves Principal Cast: José Saramago, Pilar del Río, Gael García Bernal, Fernando Meirelles Filmography: Floripes (2005), A Batalha dos Três Reis (2005), Autografia (2004)
