Introduction by Natalia Brizuela. Guest curator Natalia Brizuela, who teaches in UC Berkeley’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese, edited a special issue of Film Quarterly dedicated to Coutinho’s films.
SCAVENGERS
Coutinho turns his camera on the women and men who work in the garbage dump in a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, making clear the dump’s placement in the whole catastrophic and devastating machine of capitalism.
METAL WORKERS
The Brazilian metal workers’ strikes in 1979–80 were instrumental in bringing down the military dictatorship. Heading them was Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, then a thirty-four-year-old metal worker, later president of Brazil from 2003 to 2011. Coutinho documents these historical events through the voices of some of the thousands of workers who partici-pated in the strikes. Personal stories of life and love are entangled with history.
Part of the 'Eduardo Coutinho: A Cinema of Listening' series at the BAMPFA.
