This personal project from filmmaker Murilo Salles examines Brazil’s identity by building profiles on four Brazilian talents whose works have great notoriety in the international cultural scene. The Festival will screen the segment featuring Tunga, where the excesses of Brazilian Baroque become evident, as well as our deep anthropomorphic tradition.
