S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Embassy of Brazil in Amman and the Royal Film Commission Jordan are hosting the Brazilian Film Days festival. The event is part of celebrations of the 60th<\/sup> anniversary of Brazil-Jordan diplomatic ties, and of the 35th<\/sup> anniversary of the opening of the Embassy of Jordan in Bras\u00edlia and the Embassy of Brazil in Amman.<\/p>\n

Celebrations also include the art show Contemporary Brazilian Art, A Short Perspective<\/em><\/a>, held by the Embassy of Brazil and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts. The show was slated to end June 27, but got extended through July 7.<\/p>\n

The film festival began on Sunday (30) with a screening of The Last Stop (pictured above<\/em>), a Brazilian-Lebanese production telling the story of Tarik, a Lebanese who migrated to Brazil in the 1950s with his brother Karim. Lead actor Mounir Maasri attended the festival opening and spoke with the audience.<\/p>\n

On his Facebook<\/a> page, the actor said the movie is a \u201clandmark\u201d of Lebanese immigration to Brazil. \u201cThe first Brazilian-Lebanese film coproduction, The Last Stop is proving to have the power to bring back the audience\u2019s memories of their own emotionally-charged stories,\u201dsaid Maasri. \u201cMay other productions follow, tapping into the power of audiovisual to reveal to up-and-coming generations the personal dramas of the immigrants who helped build Brazilian society,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The festival continues this Monday (1) with a showing of Jo\u00e3o, o Maestro<\/em>, by Mauro Lima, which tells the story of the Brazilian pianist and conductor Jo\u00e3o Carlos Martins.<\/p>\n

Tuesday (2) will see a screening of Ar\u00e1bia<\/em>, by Jo\u00e3o Dumans and Affonso Uchoa, a film about construction worker Cristiano, killed in a factory accident in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais.<\/p>\n

The Wednesday (3) movie will be O Filme da Minha Vida<\/em>, directed and starred by Selton Mello. The main character is Tony, a son to a French father and a Brazilian mother, who returns to his native countryside Rio Grande do Sul. French star actor Vincent Cassel plays Tony\u2019s father.<\/p>\n

The Thursday (4) showing will be Bach in Brazil<\/em>, by Ansgar Ahlers of Germany. It tells the story of German music teacher Marten Brueckling, who travels to Ouro Preto looking for the original of a score written by one of Johann Sebastian Bach\u2019s sons.
