Diamantino – Press Kit.Pdf
presents DIAMANTINO A FILM BY GABRIEL ABRANTES & DANIEL SCHMIDT **GRAND PRIX WINNER | 2018 CANNES CRITICS’ WEEK** PORTUGAL, FRANCE & BRAZIL - 92 MIN - COLOUR - IMAGE 2:39 - SOUND 5:1 Run Time: 93 minutes Publicity Contact: David Ninh, [email protected] Distributor Contact: Graham Swindoll, [email protected] Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 West 39 St. Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 SYNOPSIS Diamantino, the world’s premiere soccer star (played by Carloto Cotta), loses his special touch and ends his career in disgrace. Searching for a new purpose, the international icon sets out on a delirious odyssey where he confronts neo-fascism, the refugee crisis, genetic modification, abuse at the hands of his evil twin sisters, and a deranged hunt for the source of genius.. A CONVERSATION BETWEEN CO-DIRECTORS GABRIEL ABRANTES & DANIEL SCHMIDT Gabriel Abrantes: Diamantino mixes money laundering, soccer star cloning, fascist machinations, evil twins, and giant puppies. Is there something that brings it all together? Daniel Schmidt: Diamantino is a sci-fi, horror, noir, and romantic comedy mashup. It’s is a dark fairy tale for adults. But it’s not set in a make-believe “Once upon a time” neverland, it is set amid the conflicts of today: it’s the story of star-crossed lovers, in the middle of the refugee crisis, the Panama papers, and the rise of the extreme right. GA: Sounds like a chaotic mix. DS: I think the chaos of today is mirrored in the film - but it’s topicality and gravity give it focus. Like any good fairy tale, I hope the film entertains while also offering some new perspective on what’s happening in the world. -
