Bog of Beasts

The Dead Girl's Feast
Exuberant film and incomparable narrative about a village at the source of the Amazon that is in the grip of an exotic mystical cult: a half crazy narcissist is worshipped like a saint. Prize-winning début by Matheus Nachtergaele, actor in Cidade de Deus and Central do Brasil.

Rat Fever
High-power report of freedom and love on the fringes of tropical Recife. Anarchistic poet Zizo falls for the down-to-earth Eneida, while his friends succumb to sex, drugs and other hedonistic activities. In other words, a colourful black-and-white film, this latest from Tiger Award winner Assis (Bog of Beasts, 2007).

Açúcar
Against her better judgment, elegant Bethania refuses to relinquish her heritage, instead reviving the past. The old sugar mill is on an estate currently controlled by the descendants of slaves. Are these merely Bethania's dreams, or is candomblé (voodoo) involved?

Zama
At the end of the eighteenth century Zama, a servant of the Spanish crown, whiles away his time on the banks of a South American river waiting for a letter from the king to reunite him with his wife – and civilisation. Martel’s film is an enchanting and original masterpiece that seems to have been made in a different era.
