Film: Shifting his focus from Brazil to Africa, Rocha described this film as ‘a theory about the possibility of a political cinema’. The Lion has Seven Heads is an attack on neo-colonialism in Africa, and features puppet dictators, a Latin-American guerrilla, a singing ex-Nazi, a mysterious blonde, a sadistic missionary and a Portuguese mercenary (1971)

Dende Collective"s project for 2007 is Macunaima, an adaptation from the novel by Mário de Andrade. Here they will explore part of the play.
The Brazilian poet, novelist, musicologist and historian, widely regarded as the originator of "magic realism" published Macunaima in 1928. The novel is about a man from an indigenous tribe in the Amazon who comes to Sao Paulo, immerses himself in urban life, learns the language and returns to the jungle. The novel explores the meeting of languages and cannibalism (the eating of cultures by other cultures), as a metaphor for colonisation.

Film: Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni claimed of The Age of Earth that ‘each scene is a lesson in how modern cinema should be made.’ After stints in Cuba, the United States and Europe, in 1980 Rocha returned to Brazil to make the film, which was his last. This monumental culmination of his career is an urgent ‘anti-symphony’ intended to reinvent Brazilian cinema. Originally, the 16 reels of the film were to be presented in a random order. The frenzied feast of allegories and symbols defied rational reality and sought to ‘resist the classification of colonial anthropology’. (1980)

The kings of Samba Rock.
In the same way that the Rolling Stones payed homage to the masters of the Delta Blues, Brazilian band Clube do Balanço re-ignited the work of the masters of samba-rock — Jorge Ben (up to 77), Luiz Vagner, Bebeto, Roberto Carlos and Erasmo, Branca Di Neve, Marku Ribas, Orlandivo — propping up the ballroom style to the taste this new century’s audiences.
