Discover all the Occupations The ideas and images of one of Brazil’s most important film-makers are in the Ocupação Rogério Sganzerla. Staged by Itaú Cultural, the exhibition is an opportunity for a wide audience to familiarize itself with the creative universe of Sganzerla’s work through his films, documentaries and original typed screenplays, marked and rewritten by hand.
Notes, references to the artists and characters that inspired him, photographs and personal objects make up the display. This publication is part of the exhibition, and contains current articles written by critics, researchers and those who shared Rogério Sganzerla’s energy and accounts of his life, loves, projects, ideas and films. Sganzerla repositioned the history of Brazilian cinema in the world through his enigmatic works that are painstaking in terms of sound and the construction of poetry in images. The paths he took and the obstacles he overcame are described in the accounts, in the interview, in the archive photographs and sketches that follow, all making up an affectionate tribute to the film-maker who gave us ‘The Red Light Bandit’ (O Bandido da Luz Vermelha) , rated by Unesco as part of the Cultural Heritage of Mankind.
