Dolores Duran: O Coração da Noite

With a short and intense life, Dolores Duran left her name in the pantheon of great names in Brazilian music. Living in a time when women had to follow strict moral standards, Dolores had no doubts: she spent the night in bars and parties, drank, smoked and allowed herself to be free to relate to whoever she wanted, challenging the macho structure of the 1950s. With many archival footage and testimonials from friends, family and ex-boyfriends, the film tells the story of an important and little-remembered character.
Released : 15th-Jun-2023

Nasci Para Bailar - Havana/Rio

Sixty years ago the pianist and arranger Brazilian Joao Donato meets with friends musicians to play and turn those moments into historical performances. The habit began in the late 1940s, when the acriano Donato newly arrived to Rio. Born into a musical family, his father was a major, airplane pilot and mandolin, his mother liked to sing and brother planned to be a concert pianist, he decided to learn piano instrument closer to that which dominated the accordion. Hence to attend meetings at the home of Dick Farney in the early bossa nova was a leap.
