Lyrics and rhythms derive from a combination of indigenous, Iberian and African traditions, as well as more recent foreign genres such as jazz, rock and pop. In the last fifteen years, music has also become a major topic of Brazilian cinema, with many documentaries and fiction films paying tribute to a variety of artists, such as Tom Jobim, Elis Regina, Cartola, Chico Buarque de Hollanda and Elza Soares, as well as musical movements such as Tropic\u00e1lia.<\/p>\n<p>This season presented a selection of films from this contemporary trend, comprising nine documentaries and one fiction film, as well as two short films from the 1960s and 1970s bearing strong links with the more recent works. Closing the event, a party was held at the <strong>Reading International Solidarity Centre (RISC)<\/strong>, including a musical performance by celebrated accordionist Luciano Maia. Moving across samba, bossa nova, bai\u00e3o, rock and other styles, these films offer a privileged insight into the main traditions in Brazilian music and an intermedial understanding of recent Brazilian film history. Participants had the opportunity to experience a selection of beautiful songs as they traveled through a fascinating strand of Brazilian cinema.<\/p>\n<p>Screenings were followed by discussion with experts and filmmakers.
