It was opened yesterday, in São Paulo, the “Festival Internacional de Curtas“. It is the leading event for short films in Latin-America and a very special meeting place where filmmakers can exchange esthetics, political and economic experiences related to shorts.
Bringing an expressive selection of films in the international program, a showcase of Latin American shorts and the largest annual display for the Brazilian production, the event attracted approximately 28.000 spectators in 2007.
The festival presents special programs that bring the short branches into a diversity of forms, including retrospectives, tributes, and digital films made in the outskirts of big cities.
Alice was there in the opening, besides Wagner Moura (his partner in “Cidade Baixa”), and Rummikub will be presented during the festival.
The festival runs from August 22 to August 29
