Directors in
Focus: Nelson Pereira dos Santos
Carnaval!:
A Celebration of South America - Global Gala 2008
Directing
since the 1950s, Nelson Pereira dos Santos is widely considered
the father of Brazil’s Cinema Novo movement, the socially
progressive and aesthetically daring Brazilian New Wave which
sought to create a national Brazilian cinema free of foreign
influence. His films reflect the poverty and class issues
of the 1960s and 70s while retaining the humor and freshness
fused together into a national popular cinema. Pereira dos
Santos’ impact on Latin American cinema cannot be overstated.
