STATE CAPITAL EVENT HAS INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMING, SHOWS
UNRELEASED TITLES AND DISCUSSES INTERNATIONAL CO-PRODUCTION IN
MOVIES AND DEBATES WITH FRENCH GUESTS
As a closure to the audiovisual program Cinema with no Frontiers (Cinema Sem
Fronteiras 2009) – which also integrates Tiradentes and Ouro Preto Exhibits – CineBH
Exhibit comes to its 3rd edition as the great cinematographic meeting of the capital
state, sealed as official event of “The Year of France in Brazil” and proposing the focus
on international co-production and the dialogue with France in films and debates as the
main theme. For that, for the first time, the exhibit internationalizes its programming,
bringing unreleased films in Brazil that had great repercussions in festivals like Cannes,
Berlim, Venice, Locarno and Toronto to Belo Horizonte, besides Brazilian prepremieres and seminars with special guests.
The 2009 CineBH Exhibit will show the total of 77 films (24 films, 7 medium-format
films and 46 short films), divided into 46 sessions throughout the six days of
programming offered to the public for free. There will be, also, four debates with
filmmakers, critics, producers and researches where, from the films, will bring to
discussion the characteristics and drawbacks of international co-production.
“CineBH Exhibit represents a new dialogue between constitutive strengths of
cinematography. The event has the purpose of focusing and understanding the Brazilian
audiovisual market context in exchange with the world as it discusses crucial matters
that put in the first place the need of the reopening of exhibition spots, even to form
new publics as to a feasible alternative for today’s issue that is distribution of the
Brazilian cinema inside the country”, analyses Raquel Hallack, Universo Produção
director and event coordinator.
The main piece of news at the 2009 CineBh Exhibit is its international programming,
dedicated to the discussion of the role of France as the main coproducer of many films in the world. The schedule brings the exhibition of
contemporary co-productions made with very diverse countries such as the USA,
Philippines, Holland, Germany, Argentina, Spain and Brazil itself.

Movies like New York, I Love You (film in episodes directed by 11 filmmakers from all
over the world and had its premiere at the latest Toronto Festival), O Menino Peixe by
the Argentinian filmmaker Lucía Puenzo that had its premiere at the “Panorama”
Exhibit, in the latest Berlim Festival) and Independencia (directed by the Philippian
Raya Martin and showed at the “Un Certain Regard” Exhibit in the latest Cannes
Festival, the movie will have its first public exhibition in Brazil at CineBH).
But the news aren’t only in the international programming. The National Pre-Premieres
also hold special surprises for the audience with the first national public exhibition of
the very expected Plastic City, a Gullane Films co-production with China, Hong Kong and
Japan. The film, directed by Yu Lik-wai (Jia Zhangke photo directing) comes to Belo
Horizonte after being exhibited in the Venice and Toronto festivals.
Another very expected film is Os Famosos e os Duendes da Morte, director Esmir
Filho first film that just had its world premiere in the latest Locarno Festival. Still part
of the national pre-premieres programming are the documentaries Mamonas pra
sempre, o Doc, by Cláudio Kahns, Dzi Croquettes, by Tatiana Issa and Raphael
Alvarez, Dia dos Pais, by Julia Murat and Leo Bittencourt, and Só Dez Pó Cento é
Mentira, by Pedro Cezar. For the exhibition closure, the veteran Domingos Oliveira
presents his latest film Todo Mundo Tem Problemas Sexuais.
To heat the debates on the international co-production theme, CineBH also shows
two emblematic titles in this production scenery in Brazil. The first, still unknown by
the Brazilian audience, is Dead in the Water, a North American thriller entirely
filmed in Brazil and directed by the Brazilian Gustavo Lipsztein. The other one is the
acclaimed classic: Orfeu Negro, Marcel Camus’s masterpiece, filmed in Rio and an
adaptation of the play “Orfeu do Carnaval” by Vinícius de Moraes. The film was
awarded “Best Foreign Movie” at the Oscar and got a Golden Palm at Cannes
Festival.
As the honored of this year’s edition, O2 Filmes will also have a special programming
dedicated to its own international co-production attempts, bigger and more complex
each day as noticed by the selection of the production company tittles that will be
shown during the exhibit: Cidade de Deus, by Fernando Meirelles; Ginga, by Tocha
Alves, Hank Levine and Marcelo Machado; O Banheiro do Papa, by César Charlone
and Enrique Fernández; and Blindness, by Fernando Meirelles, biggest co-production
ever made in Brazil with a US$ 25 million budget, Hollywood actors and filmed in
three different countries.
The short film production, either in digital or film, will also have a special presence on
the 2009 CineBH program. A total of 46 pieces will be exhibited, grouped in six sessions
on the main exhibit, one of them dedicated to the kids and a special session of CineConcert. The medium-format film, usually ignored either in the commercial circuit than
in movie festivals and exhibits, shows its strength and diversity in eight tittles divided in
five sessions.

animation O Rei e o Pássaro, by Paul Grimault, dividing the kid’s attention with O

SEMINÁR PLACES INTERNATIONAL CO-PORDUCTION ON THE SPOT
The 3rd Brazilian Cinema Seminar: market perspectives and languages, part of the

partner in O2 Filmes, this year’s honored company, discusses the paths of international
co-production with Rachel Monteiro (international consultant of Cinema do

Letícia Godinho; Minas Film Commission executive director, Carolina Gontijo; and the
recent created Rio Film Commission president, Steve Solot.
In The TV as an Ally, it will be time to discuss how TV can act on the incitement and
spreading of film production, strengthening, this way, the whole audiovisual chain, by
the more than successful French policy to the sector. As part of this table, there will be
Cadu Rodrigues, Globo Filmes director; Gabriel Priolli, TV Cultura Content and
Quality Center coordinator; Octavio Penna Pieranti, Audiovisual Secretary TV and Digital
Platforms coordinator;
Paulo
Mendonça, Brazil
Channel director;
Susy
dos
Santos, researcher and professor at UFRJ; and Bruno Deloye, French channels
Cinécinéma Classic, Club and Famiz (Canal Plus Network) director.
At last, the table The Audiovisual Market and Public Policies for the sector in Brazil
and France intends to set out a parallel between government actions that are being
drawn in this area in Brazil and France, with special attention on independent
production and low budget. For this, the guests for the discussion are Manoel
Rangel, Ancine
president-director;
Silvio
Da-Rin, Ministry
of
Culture
Audiovisual Secretary; Brigitte Veyne, Audiovisual Adida of the France Embassy in
Brazil; and Joël Augros, professor and researcher at University of Paris 8, in France.
“The benefits of co-production are beyond the immediate financing of productions,
which wouldn’t be able to get financial support in a different way. It has the capacity of
approximating cultures, not only through the finished piece, but also by sharing
experiences and knowledge among professionals from different nationalities involved in
its realization. Different visions of the world and of the cinema are confronted, debates
about cultures and ways of production are stimulated, new cinemas are instigated”,
says Leonardo Mecchi, 2009 CineBH Exhibit collaborator.
