About
** Northwest premiere! **

Located 2,000 kilometres from the Amazon and 18 hours from Rio, the city of Brasilia  the capital of Brazil  is a mythical place: a concrete utopia born out of the desert.

In 1956 at the rebirth of Brazilian democracy, visionary architect Oscar Niemeyer and urbanist Lucio Costa invented an urban plan and structures that would attempt to micromanage the daily activity of human life. The unabashed goal was to create the space that would birth the new Brazilian citizen.

Now the stark beauty of the city acts as a backdrop to isolation, changing values, and the dynamic power and politics of todays Brazil. The haunting ambience of Niemeyer and Costas dream echoes through the lives of a range of characters, each trying to make their mark in the city of today: Sergio, the stalwart urbanist who defends the city plan but knows it must adapt; Helize, studying to become a federal civil servant the dream of so many Brazilian students. And Willians, a street vendor by day, who tries to find meaningful connection in a city built to divide.

Brasília: Life After Design takes us to a city rarely seen by the international viewer. What is it like to live within someone elses idea?
