Art Cineclub shows films from Manacapuru

Manaus (AM) – This Saturday (13), the Secretariat for Culture and Creative Economy will present another edition of the Film Festival from Amazonia, which will take place at Cineteatro Guarany, Avenida Sete de Setembro, 1542, Centro, south zone, at 6:30 pm.
This Saturday’s edition aims to highlight the works produced in the city of Manacapuru (68 kilometers from Manaus), bringing the appreciation of regional productions. The collection was curated by Z Leão, filmmaker and project coordinator.
“Amazonian cinema has a caboclo matrix that inspires the stories of our daily lives and maintains our ancient oral traditions. When you turn production to the interior of the state, you find yourself making cinema of essence, and it brings the traces of our fingerprints”, highlights the filmmaker.
Most of the shorts were produced in cinema workshops that were given in recent years in the city, even held in State and Municipal Schools of Manacapuru. This training project was offered by Amacine Futuros Cineastas in partnership with Pekena Filmes and Odan Produções.
Project participant Odaléia Barros, who has two short films of her own in the event’s programming, highlights the importance of the project for the local culture.
“Manacapuru makes cinema, Amazonas makes cinema. The world needs to know our culture and we need to value it. Showing our stories on the small screen is like looking in the mirror without makeup, it’s us, our language, customs, traditions and characteristics ”, she defines.
