Documento sem título The complete retrospective of the works by the great Brazilian filmmaker Joaquim Pedro de Andrade is ready, thanks to Petrobras’ sponsorship, and will be presented for the first time at the 63rd Venice Film Festival, the world’s oldest film festival, which will take place between August 30 and September 9.

Joaquim Pedro de Andrade is presented in Venice as “the ‘father’ of Cinema Novo, a movement that renewed Brazilian moviemaking to the bone, an ‘invisible master’ of historical avant-garde. Under supervision by Alice de Andrade, Joaquim Pedro’s daughter, the films were restored in digital 2k format, high definition.”

It must also be reminded that “Macunaíma/Jungle Freaks”, an adaptation of the classic novel by Mário de Andrade, was selected by the Venice Festival in 1969 and that the master piece conquered world eminence from then on, fixing the Brazilian moviemaker’s name as one of the most modern in the 90’s.

The list of Joaquim Pedro’s restored films to be viewed and re-viewed in Venice follows:

Garrincha: Hero of the Jungle (1963) (documentary)
The Priest and the Girl (1965)
Jungle Freaks (1969)
