About
(João Vieira & Chica Barbosa, Brazil & United States)
Brazilian-born, West Coast-based filmmakers João Vieira (collaborating with US-born director Syl Sutton) and Chica Barbosa (collaborating with Brazilian based director Fernanda Pessoa) will show their films, Os Angelinos and Swing and Sway on Saturday, March 8th at Northwest Film Forum. Sponsored by Interbay Cinema Society, this timely program, Cinema Imigrante Brasileiro, has been reimagined as a fundraiser for the LA arts and Californian immigrant communities devastated by the SoCal wildfires of January.
Brazilian Immigrant Cinema is a series that showcases contemporary Brazilian filmmakers who live and work in the diaspora. The framework is to approach cinema through the immigrant perspective by embracing accents, neologisms, and code-switches. For its inaugural volume, we present two films that build their narrative through letters coming from one city in the United States: Los Angeles. In Os Angelinos, LA is the recipient of the collective open-letter, while in Swing and Sway the Californian metropolis converses with São Paulo in a filmic mail exchange between co-directors. Together, both films pair multilingual stories in dialogue with each other, ultimately inviting audiences to experience various cinematic languages in the same film program.
Doors open at 6; filmmakers will introduce their work and talk about their process; the screenings begin at 6:30 pm.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
