It interweaves these filmic examples with interviews with 15 exponents of the Brazilian film industry\, including 11 filmmakers\, one editor\, one music composer\, one producer and one curator\, all of whom are strongly connected with what became known as the Retomada do Cinema Brasileiro\, or the Brazilian Film Revival\, starting in the mid-1990s\, which brought back to the agenda the question of national identity and Brazil’s lingering social issues. The flourishing and diversification of independent filmmaking from the 1990s onwards favoured not only a new approach to reality\, but also an emboldened use of the film medium that acknowledged and exposed its inextricable connections with other art and medial forms. Though the 1990s Film Revival involved production centres all over Brazil\, Passages focuses on film practitioners from São Paulo and Pernambuco\, who established a creative collaboration across the geographic\, economic and cultural borders of their respective regions. \n  \nInterviewees (in alphabetical order)      \n  \nTata Amaral – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nHélder Aragão (DJ Dolores) – Composer\, film director \nCláudio Assis – Film director\, producer \nBeto Brant – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nPaulo Caldas – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nVânia Debs – Film editor\, academic \nAna Farache – Curator\, photographer \nLírio Ferreira – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nMarcelo Gomes – Film director\, screenwriter \nHilton Lacerda – Film director\, screenwriter \nFernando Meirelles – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nKleber Mendonça Filho – Film director\, film critic\, screenwriter \nRenata Pinheiro– Film director\, art director\, screenwriter \nAdelina Pontual – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nJoão Vieira Júnior – Film producer[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
