THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

Chinese Viola

My meeting with Brazilian cinema

6

English / 8min. / 1975

SYNOPSIS

The rare short film presents a curious dialogue between filmmaker Julio Bressane and actor Grande Otelo, where, in a mixture of decorated and improvised text, we discover a little manifesto to the Brazilian experimental cinema. Also called "Belair's last film," Chinese Viola reveals the first partnership between photographer Walter Carvalho and Bressane.
