The Brazilian Embassy in Seoul and the Brazilian Cultural Center of Seoul National University will present six films from Brazil on Sept. 15 and 16 at the Raemian Gallery in downtown Seoul.
The opening film will be “Bossa Nova,” a romantic comedy set in Rio de Janeiro. The film depicts different couples in search for love, presented with the scenic landscape of the city and bossa nova music.
Other films include “The Year my Parents Went on Vacation,” “Elite Squad,” “Cinema, Aspirin and Vultures,” “Antonia” and “Behind the Sun.”
This is the second film screening by the embassy, and is to celebrate the 50th year of the Korean immigration to Brazil. The first Koreans arrived in Brazil in 1962. They were mostly agricultural immigrants, but very few settled in farm.
Film screening is free, but reservation is required. For reservation and more information about the films, call 02-880-4283 or visit the website www.brazilianculture.or.kr
