Brazil is a socially complex country punctuated by a thriving creative diversity, culturally sophisticated, and aesthetically vital; one way to know it is by “zooming in” on its short film productions: visual landscapes, dignifying discourses presenting a poetry of variations

MixBrasil / Cinema E Video Da Diversidade

Mix Brasil Festival is an annual cultural event with a focus on films and videos related to human sexuality in its various forms of expression. Originally an offshoot of the Mix New York festival, Mix Brasil is the big- gest showing of queer films in Latin America. In 2007, an estimated audience of 40,000 people attended the screenings, parties, and music performances. Mix Brasil’s program is as varied and fluid as the communities it strives to represent. The festival has a reputation for celebrating not only sexual diversity and all the thematic possibilities it presents, but also cinematic diversity, be it a lighthearted comedy or an avant-garde experiment (or, as is often the case, a film that defies instant categorization). We only ask that our audiences stay open minded, and in turn we will select works that showcase queer cinema in all its exciting forms.
Co-presented by Inside Out Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival.
