[audiobook] The Visual Palette: Defining Your Photographic Style by Brian Matiash at Arts-Photography

Description

A unique collection of articles by leading film critics; spanning Brazil from Rio Grande do Sul to the northern state of Pernambuco; this volume offers a panorama of current trends and the evolving Brazilian film industry. The compilation is not only a reference tool for the study and debate of Brazilian Cinema; but also serves as a sounding board for some of the countrys most representative film critics on themes of critical importance to their respective cities and regions. The work is published in an English-Portuguese bilingual format; in an effort to offer the widest possible access to readers around the world. The Americas Film Conservancy-AFC and the Latin American Training Center-LATC have joined forces to present a diverse and refreshing view of Brazilian audiovisual vitality; and astute perspectives on the past; present and future directions of the Brazilian film industry. Beyond a vehicle to promote Brazilian cinema worldwide; this publication represents the aim of AFC and LATC to support freedom of expression in film and film criticism; and to promote public awareness that film is an important art form as well as a form of entertainment. "The collection of essays here; edited by Susana Schild; testifies to the vitality and heterogeneity of Brazilian cinema. Those of us whove been following the scene for some time know that putting Brazilian film into a restrictive box is a ridiculous exercise; but reading these essays should make all of us outside the country aware of how limited our access has been to much of the countrys cinematic riches". Jay Weisberg; Variety Film Critic
