“Rio 2096 – A Story of Love and Fury” is an animated film that portrays the love between an immortal hero and Janaína, the woman he has been in love with for 600 years. As a backdrop to the romance, the feature highlights four phases of Brazilian history: colonization, slavery, the Military Regime and the future, in 2096, when there will be a war for water.
Laís Bodanzky and Luiz Bolognesi travel around the small cities of Brazil, exhibiting short films in public squares. From the south of Bahia to the farthest parts of Amazon, this documentary discovers a country that watches a movie and sees itself on the screen for the very first time, in the turning of the 21st century. What’s seen and heard is truly surprising.
Laís Bodanzky (São Paulo, September 23, 1969) debuted in the direction with the short film Red Card, about a girl who lives among brats and discovers sexuality. This award-winning short film was selected for the New York Film Festival in 1995. She is the daughter of filmmaker Jorge Bodanzky.
