WORLD HABITAT DAY 2011 - EVENING EVENT - THE SAMBA WITHIN ME
mandag 3. oktober 2011 kl. 18:00 på Litteraturhuset – sal Wergeland
The Samba Within Me (Brazil 2010) takes us to the Mangueira favela in the hillsides of Rio de Janeiro, during the pre-carnival period. Through the eyes of director Georgia Guerra-Peixe, the viewer is taken on a journey up the hills and introduced to the neighbourhood and some of its residents, as well as introduced to one of the strongest grounds for samba and carnival in today’s Brazil.
Before the film, Henk de Zeeuw from the Ruaf Foundation, will give a brief talk on the overall topic of the Habitat Day conference taking place at DogA 3 October 9am-2pm.
The screening of ‘The Samba Within Me’ is a co-operation with the Films from the South Festival, and will take place at Litteraturhuset, Amalie Skram, at 6pm.
