The program is completely free, but registration and ticket collection must be guaranteed one hour in advance.
Showing at the three venues from 24/26 to 9/XNUMX, Jeferson De's film features Ventania (Aílton Graça) as a worker who accepts various odd jobs until he becomes a sports talent scout and meets Glanderson (Juan Paiva), a poor, disabled boy full of talent.
Before each session, videographer and comedian Big Jaum takes part in a chat with the audience. Born and raised in Guadeloupe, Jaum is known for his rap and comedy music videos.
During the workshops (September 21-23), filmmaker Bete Bullara shares her experiences on producing very short films, among other topics. The Rio Festival organizers selected two cultural agents from each region to act as producers and assistants.

About filmmaker Jeferson De: Director of “Bróder” (best film at the Gramado Festival in 2010), “M8” and “Doutor Gama”, the São Paulo native has had a close relationship with the seventh art since childhood, when his father was a community leader in Taubaté. His passion took him to USP, where he was the only black student in the cinema course. Taking a leap forward in history, in August of this year, he premiered his latest film project on Globoplay, about the life of lawyer and abolitionist Luiz Gama, one of the most important figures in Brazilian history.
