Screen can reveal the first trailer for Julia de Simone’s Brazilian drama Praia Formosa which will have its world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in the Tiger Competition.
The Portuguese-language film explores the multi-ethnic ethos of Rio de Janeiro from the perspective of Muanza, a woman from the kingdom of Congo smuggled into Brazil in the 19th century. As the protagonist mysteriously wakes up in the present day, she explores Rio de Janeiro’s mercurial port region of Pequena Africa (Little Africa).
Competing for the top prize at IFFR, Praia Formosa is the third feature-length film by de Simone.

The funding per project will rise from €150,000 to €200,000.
Funding for the next edition of Biennale College Cinema, Venice Film Festival’s emerging filmmakers’ training and production initiative, will be hiked from €150,000 to €200,000 per project.
The increase comes off the back of a three-year sponsorship deal with French media giant Vivendi that was announced in July. “Vivendi will join us as our partner,” said Venice festival artistic director Alberto Barbera. “We believe this will have a significant impact on our projects in coming years.”
