Brasileira, Seigner rodou o filme em uma coprodução Brasil-França-Colômbia e estará presente para conversar com o público. Notícias relacionadas:SP: mostra abriu as portas para o cinema mundial.Os filmes selecionados são produções de 2018 a 2026. O mais antigo deles, Pájaros de Verano, que encerrará a mostra, é uma realização de Ciro Guerra e Cristina Gallego. Dois anos antes, em 2016, a dupla já havia trabalhado junta em O Abraço da Serpente. O longa-metragem, sobre a relação de um colonizador europeu que depende da ajuda de um xamã para obter uma flor de cura, levou inúmeros prêmios ao redor do mundo e representou a Colômbia e a América Latina e Caribe no Oscar. Em Pájaros de Verano o que existe é a tensão e a contradição próprias de um cenário em que poder e dinheiro modificam as pessoas. Nesse caso, uma família indígena wayuu, cujas peças elaboradas meticulosamente por tecelãs são seu cartão de visita, em geral, a quem não é das comunidades, organizadas em clãs. Os wayuu vivem na Colômbia e na Venezuela, e o filme foi apelidado de O Poderoso Chefão Indígena, à época do lançamento. >> Clique aqui e acesse a programação completa Serviço 4ª edição do Festival de Cinema Colombiano De 7 a 10 de outubro Quarta-feira e quinta-feira, das 19h às 21h Sexta-feira, das 16h às 18h30 Sábado, das 16h às 18h Biblioteca Mário de Andrade | Rua da Consolação, 94, Centro - São Paulo Auditório Rubens Borba de Moraes (1º andar) Classificação: 12 anos Acesso livre, com distribuição de ingressos 1h antes.
