[iStockphoto]In partnership with the Brazilian Association of Black Audiovisual Professionals, the Embassy of Brazil in Nairobi is proud to host the “Black Brazilian Film Festival” this month, celebrated in Brazil as the month of black consciousness. “The Kenyan audience will be presented with films written, directed and produced by talented black Brazilian women and men, which bring to light a multiplicity of characters who express all the pains and pleasures of being a Brazilian citizen in the world. As the films shown at the festival demonstrate, few dimensions of art can offer such a diverse and realistic image of a segment of the Brazilian population systematically ignored by the film industry,” says Brazilian Ambassador to Kenya H.E. Brazilian cinema has already portrayed this richness in works that can be found in the imagination of audiences worldwide. Showcasing the work of new generations, this festival contributes to breaking down another barrier to understanding this inseparable dimension of Brazil, its people, and our African heritage,” H.E.
