Director's Filmography WWEENNTT TTOO HHEEAAVVEENN Synopsis “Write as you like, use the rhythms that come out, try different instruments, sit at the piano, destroy the metric, shout instead of singing, blow your guitar and ring the horn. Hate mathematics, and love eddies. Creation is a bird without a flight plan, that will never fly in a straight line” Violeta Parra From the marquee that she built in Santiago, Chile, Violeta Parra is visited by people who shaped her life. She’s alive, but perhaps she’s dead. We´ll gradually find out her secrets, fears, frustration and joys. Not only presenting her multiple works, but also her memories, her loves and her hopes. Her achievements are suspended in a passionate journey with the characters who made her dream, laugh and cry.

  • Nise – the Heart of Madness
    AND PRESENT GLORIA PIRES in NISE – THE HEART OF MADNESS Directed by: Roberto Berliner Drama - 109 minutes-Not Rated In Brazilian Portuguese (With English Subtitles) Website: http://www.nisetheheartofmadness.com 1 SYNOPSIS 1940’s, Brazil- Dr. Nise da Silveira (Played by award-winning actress Gloria Pires) is at work in a psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro and refuses to employ the new and violent electroshock therapy for the treatment of schizophrenics. Ridiculed by doctors, she is forced to take the abandoned Sector for Occupational Therapy, where she starts a revolution through paints, dogs and love. Through her efforts, renowned modern art museums opened their doors to artists nobody had ever heard of. Many critics pointed out that these exhibitions revealed painters that went on to be ranked amongst the best Brazillian artists of the century. Behind this miracle there was no art academy, patron or dealer. The artists were schizophrenic, poor, hospitalized for several decades, abandoned by their families and hopeless to all but da Silveira. NISE:THE HEART OF MADNESS tells the real life story of this "miracle" and the life of this rebellious, frail and engaging psychiatrist.
