From 3 to 5 June 2007, seventeen Brazilian artists and craftspeople will show their works and products at Pulse exhibition in Earls Court, London. The objects displayed at the common stand range from traditional but extraordinary handicraft to modern design. The exhibition is supported by APEX Brasil (Agência de Promoção de Exportações e Investimentos), the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agengy and organized by the Brazilian non-governmental organisations Centro Cape, SBrasil and Central Mãos de Minas.

Film: Shot in four days and edited over four years, Câncer dispenses with logical narrative to focus on psychological, sexual and racial violence through the improvised performances of three characters. Featuring Hélio Oiticica, Rocha’s ‘technical experiment’ reflects the director’s desire to craft a distinctly Brazilian cinematic vernacular. It powerfully fulfills his credo: ‘an idea in one"s head and a camera in one"s hand". (1968)

From the exuberance of Rio"s carnival to the powerful Amazon River and the mesmerising aerial view of São Paulo, unmask the heart and soul of Brazil.

São Paulos Cananéia Island contains some of the last remnants of
Brazil's Atlantic rainforest. The vulnerable estuary waters surrounding it
mirror the rainforest's biodiversity, with records of at least 43 species of
whales and dolphins and seven species of seals. Here is also perhaps the
largest resident population of marine tucuxi dolphins, one of the least-
studied cetaceans in the world. Not surprisingly, the area is becoming an
increasingly attractive destination for tourists and Dr. Santos is working to
inform the management of local tourism development in order to conserve
the estuary's marine mammal populations.

Hélio Oiticica (1937–1980) is acknowledged as one of the most revolutionary Brazilian artists of his generation. Colour was central to his practice and this exhibition will be the first large-scale retrospective to concentrate on this key element in his work. Featuring more than 150 works dating from 1955, the exhibition includes pieces that have not been seen publicly for more than thirty years and includes the Bolides (1963–69) and Parangolés (1964–79), which reveal Oiticica’s most radical use of colour. A highlight of the exhibition is the fully restored, complete version of his incredible Grand Nucleus (1960-68).

Film: Documentary about Brazilian history, from 1945 until the 70s, focusing on President Juscelino Kubitschek. The film charts his political rise, his philosophy of economic development, his gigantic project of constructing a new capital city for the country, Brasília, in the middle of the jungle, and his last years, after the military takeover, when he was deprived of his political rights and went into a temporary exile. (1980)

Film: During the celebration of Brazils 500-year anniversary, 2,000 indigenous people from 181 different tribes returned to the primary location where the Portuguese conquerors first arrived. For the first time in 500 years the reminiscent communities gathered together to discuss their past losses and their future hopes.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the director, Rose Chamberlain (2000)

Film: Timeless, with a finger on the pulse of violence How Angels are born is an unpolished gem of Brazilian cinema, comparable to Classics such as Pixote and City of God.
Set in one of Rio de Janeiro"s slums, following two pre-adolescents trying to escape after the accidental murder of one of the local drug trafficking bosses. Taking refuge in an American businessman"s family home, the kids take the family hostage on their flight to safety.
From then, they become inextricably entwined in a series of events which take on unimaginable consequences. (1996)

Film: Marcel Camus"s Brazilian reworking of the Orpheus myth, made in 1958, is a film whose chief attraction is now its innocent charm rather than the samba exuberance that was such a talking point when it won the Golden Palm at Cannes and an Oscar.
Breno Mello is the Orpheus who falls for his Eurydice (Marpessa Dawn) during the Rio carnival, a spectacle that vanishes when Orpheus encounters a voodoo ceremony at which the voice of his Eurydice is channelled by a woman standing behind him - and he may not turn round. An inspired reinvention of the underworld. (1959)

Film: One explorer"s "discovery" has tragic consequences in this drama from Brazil. Diogo (Diogo Infante) is a cartographer from Portugal stationed at the Coimbra Fort, a compound in the Mato Grosso regions of Brazil. Diogo has come to Brazil to search out previously unknown cities and draw maps of the area. His life takes an unexpected turn when he falls in love with Anote (Luciana Rigueuira), a beautiful young woman whose family rules a local tribe of Guaicuru Indians. When Anote becomes pregnant with Diogo"s child, he earns the enmity of the Guaicuru people, leading them into a battle with the soldiers of Coimbra Fort, and leaving 54 of the Portuguese dead. (2000)

Film: Luis Buñuel claimed that Black God, White Devil was ‘the most beautiful thing I have seen in more than a decade, filled with a savage poetry.’ Rocha"s second feature stems from the director’s deep fascination with the mystical legends and folk traditions of the scarred and barren region in northeastern Brazil. The powerful, mind-bending imagery details the saga of two murderous peasants and a messianic priest whose disturbing and violent beliefs threaten the Catholic Church. Rocha’s dazzling masterpiece is a cry for man to determine his own path. (1964)

Film: Natasha is a 20-year-old woman who, together with four friends, decides to enter the Amazon forest to partake in a Saint Daime ceremony in one of the local villages. To guide them through the forest they hire the experienced Beto Careca. However, he"s not the one who turns up to get them, but Jean Pierre, a strange man who says he is Beto"s friend. They are not all convinced, but they all end up accepting his explanation. When night falls the group decides to set up camp in a place called Hell"s Opening. There they try the Saint Daime tea made by the guide himself and have a life-changing experience. Not everything is really a hallucination and not everyone will get out alive. (2006)

Film: From 25th Setember to 27th October 2002, a film crew followed Luís Inácio Lula da Silva"s step by step presidential election campaign. The film goes behind the scenes of this historic moment using exclusive material such as private conversations, strategy meetings, telephone calls, transcripts and recordings of party policies and electoral programmes. (2004)

In Brazil, almost half of the agricultural land is owned by just one per cent of the population.

Film: Glauber Rocha claimed that ‘Brazil is a carnival that must be destroyed’. Earth Entranced takes this notion to heart in its stunning assault on the corruption of the Brazilian bourgeois ruling class in the wake of the country"s 1964 coup. Focused on the conflict between a populist governor and a right-wing dictator set in the fictional country of Eldorado, the film’s delirious camerawork and operatic scope brilliantly convey Brazil’s ‘permanent state of madness’. (1967)

|
17
Film: Glauber Rocha claimed that ‘Brazil is a musical country and I think of cinema as musical montage with pauses and musical spaces.’ This epic cinematic poem to the revolutionary and the oppressed reflects the powerful fusion of music and image that marks the best Cinema Novo work. Rocha’s re-imagining of the myth of St George and the Dragon is set in northeast Brazil and features Antonio das Mortes, who converts from a passive religious follower into a warrior saint who embraces the tradition of black revolt in Brazil. The film is a lyrical amalgamation of religion, politics, folklore, social history, music, literature, and dance.
(1969)

For two performances only, AfroReggae brings to the Barbican stage a base-line experience of Brazilian culture: the beat of the favela, the shanty-town sound. Their multi-style performance is a skillful combination of the most vital movements in Brazilian culture, from Tropicalismo to mangue beat, from Paulista rap to samba-reggae, from capoeira to carioca funk.

Film: Transfiction has been shot as part of a practice-based PhD in Drama and explores "ethnofiction", an experimental ethnographic film style in which the participants collaborate with the filmmaker to act out their own and others" life experiences in improvisations. The film focuses on identity and discrimination in the daily lives of transgendered Brazilians living in São Paulo. (2007)

Film: ‘It is a film against the dictatorships, it is the funeral of the dictatorships,’ Glauber Rocha explained. ‘I deal with a character who might be the apocalyptic encounter of Perón and Franco in the ruins of the Latin-American civilisation. I filmed it at the rocks of Cadaqués, where Buñuel filmed L"Age d"or…The future of the cinema will be sound, light, delirium, that line interrupted since L"Age d"or.’ Rocha"s film is an allegorical depiction of a despotic ruler’s downfall and his attempt to address Brazil’s social problems. (1970)
