Third edition of the Mostra Ocupa CCVM begins this Tuesday (14)

In its third edition, the Mostra Ocupa CCVM will take place on January 14 and 15, showing the films approved by the Ocupy CCVM — Amazônia em Foco, a public notice that takes into account the complexity of the issues that concern the states that make up the Legal Amazon.

A creature present in the Bumba Meu Boi do Sotaque da Baixada groups, to the sound of its unmistakable rattle. Who is Cazumba? (Gilvan Nogueira) portrays floodplains in the municipalities of Cajari, Viana, Monção and São Luís. The film questions what’s behind the mysterious character.

The documentary Ritmos da Baixada: Tecnobrega e Guitarrada no Coração do Pará (Ignácio San Martin) explores the processes of exchange and cultural influence that have shaped music and dance in the Northern region of Brazil over time. The role of artistic manifestations in the suburbs of Belém as tools for social inclusion is emphasized, as music plays an important role in building the cultural identity of these communities.

The film presents the history and legacy of Maurício Ribeiro, Buriti’s songwriter and Viola player, an element of the culture of Tocantins. Viola de Buriti do Jalapão (Golden Nubia) contributes to the appreciation and preservation of one of the traditions present in this part of the Brazilian Amazon.

The documentary records the celebration of the celebration of Father João Légua and the Codozinho Boi Codozinho do Romper da Aurora, which is manifested inside the only Jeje-Nagô terreiro in Rondônia. From Farrista to Ronda: from Maranhão to Rondônia — The Feast of João de Légua at Terreiro de Santo Expedito (Sabrina Bandeira, Flávia Diniz and Rafaela Correia) captures the essence of the party’s preparations, from religious rituals to the consecrated festival, while maintaining respect for its secrets.

Through its powerful visual expression, the performance Canoa (Josué Castilho França) invites the spectator to reflect on their responsibility to protect the Amazon and to support efforts for new pacts that guarantee the survival of the ecosystems and the peoples that inhabit it.

In 2014, writer, actor and director João Luiz do Couto set out on a four-month journey along the Araguaia River, with the intention of discovering his ancestry, reconnecting with his roots and increasing his artistic repertoire. Photographer Sheila Signário accompanied him, recording the trip that gave rise to the documentary Narrators of Araguaia (João Luiz do Couto).

The sessions will start at 19:00 and the program is free!
