Storyline of the movie:<\/strong>
\nFilmed in a backlands area of the rural but historically important Minas Gerais region, The Earth Giveth, The Earth Taketh Away is simultaneously a character study, an inquiry into the country\u2019s cultural history, and a questioning of the documentary form itself. While travelling to research the film, Rodrigo Siqueira encountered Pedro de Alexina, one of the last guardians of the funeral traditions brought by Africans to the mining region of Diamantina in the 18th century. The region\u2019s dialect, a merging of African and Portuguese traditions, only has a few remaining funeral ritual songs, and de Alexina embodies these disappearing aspects of his region throughout the film, serving as a griot, telling tales and legends. The film seems to unfold outside of time and space as de Alexina tours us through a place where death meets life and where God and the Devil coexist in the land of the sun. Within the film\u2019s many contradictions is a question of the difference between tradition and imagination; as one Brazilian film critic noted, the film \u201cis so realistic that it becomes a fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

– On September 27th (Thursday) at 10:00 the movie “Terras”<\/strong> , documentary –\u00a0 2009 – (runtime 75 min) by Maya Da-Rin will be screened at\u00a0 Nirmala Institute, Panjim, Altinho.

Storyline of the movie<\/strong>:
\nOn the triple frontier between Brazil, Colombia and Peru, the twin towns of Let\u00edcia and Tabatinga form an urban island surrounded by the Amazon rain-forest. Following the ordinary events and the constant come and go of people along the border, Terras portrays the presence and the influence of the frontier on the lives of its inhabitants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
