Brazilian cinema faces a kind of "shame" of being accessible to the general public, according to directors Gustavo Vinagre and Gurcius Gewdner. In an interview, they point out that there is an excess of "intellectual caution" among Brazilian filmmakers and critics, which would create a barrier between national cinema and the audience.
The two directors co-directed the film "Privadas de Suas Vidas," which premieres in Lisbon during the MOTELX festival. The work is presented as an example of the perspective they defend about Brazilian film production.
Vinagre and Gewdner criticize what they consider an excessively cautious posture from critics and filmmakers, who would avoid working with more popular language for fear of seeming simplistic or too accessible.
The MOTELX festival, held in Lisbon, is the chosen venue for the international premiere of the feature film, which reaches Portuguese audiences with this proposal to question the boundaries between art cinema and popular cinema in Brazil.
