Violence — or, rather, the threat of violence — haunts every frame of João Paulo Miranda Maria’s debut feature film, “Memory House.” Set in an Austrian settlement in Southern Brazil, this discomfiting drama tells the story of a man so alienated by the world around him that the stench of death at work and the menacing environment outside it have hollowed him out. That is until his titular dwelling kicks off a transformation that turns Miranda Maria’s character study into a folk-infused fable for a country in crisis.
Cristovam spends his days listlessly working at a dairy factory. Displaced by the very company that now employs him, he’s resettled from the North and finds little in common with either his German-speaking employers or his fellow workers. At 81 years old, Pitanga is a towering presence on screen, bringing with him not just a wealth of cultural signifiers but his laconic...

The Hong Kong International Film Festival has unveiled a familiar lineup of titles, talks and retrospectives for its 45th edition, which will return to its normal springtime slot after disruptions last year caused by the coronavirus.
“For the first time in our history, we will be presenting a hybrid festival consisting of both in-theatre and virtual screenings and events. While our belief in watching films communally on a big screen is unwavering, recent lockdowns and social distancing measures have accelerated our need to explore uncharted waters by embracing an additional online component,” said Hkiff Society executive director Albert Lee.
“The program is well balanced and covers a broad spectrum, from rarely-seen silent classics to contemporary filmmakers’ latest work. I am particularly thrilled to note that the festival will open with two significant Hong Kong films for the first time in recent years. So much for the talks of the demise of Hong Kong cinema!

Film Movement has acquired U.S. rights to Quentin Reynaud’s “Final Set,” a French movie starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Alex Lutz and Ana Girardot, from Studiocanal.
“Final Set,” which unfolds in the world of professional tennis, is produced by Leonard Glowinski for his company, 22H22 (“A Hologram for the King”).
The film revolves around Thomas (Lutz), who was once a young professional tennis prodigy who never had the career in the game he had hoped for. At 37, he decides to return to the French Open at Roland Garros, in spite of declining physical fitness and a shattered knee. Although his wife Eve (Girardot) and mother Judith (Scott Thomas) advise him to give up on his unlikely ambition, Thomas obsessively perseveres. He will have to face his own demons as well as the intense competitive qualifying rounds to reach the tournament and eventually face a young tennis genius who disturbingly...

In the first days of June 2020, the Brazilian feature Memory House (Casa de antiguidades), by João Paulo Miranda Maria, was announced as the only Latin American film selected by the Cannes Film Festival—a kind of “symbolic” selection, as the festival would not take place this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The films received a “Cannes label” and have premièred at other renowned events as restrictions have slowly been lifted.Brazil was the epicenter of the pandemic at that moment, in addition to being dragged down by a political and economic crisis, with all the public funds assigned to the cinema industry frozen, and on the verge of losing its Cinemateca (the biggest film archive in Latin America) in a dubious process of government intervention. Then an astonishment and a question hovered in the minds of many who follow and love cinema in the country: who is João Paulo Miranda Maria?...

The Pingyao International Film Festival, founded by Chinese helmer Jia Zhangke and former Venice head Marco Muller, has released its full lineup of global and local films. The selections in the two main sections focus on first or second features.
The festival is set to take place from Oct. 10-19 in the ancient city of Pingyao in central Shanxi province, not far from Jia’s own hometown. Few foreigners will be present, as China continues to maintain travel and quarantine restrictions for those entering the country, despite lifting some measures.
A dozen films are set to compete in the international “Crouching Tigers” section. They include a number of titles that first bowed at Venice: “Residue,” from American director Merawi Gerima, which debuted to a special mention earlier this month in the independent Venice Days section before being picked up by Ava DuVernay’s film company and released on Netflix; “The Book of Vision,...

It doesn’t take long for Memory House to dive right into politics. Within minutes, dairy factory worker Cristovam (Antonio Pitanga) finds himself sitting across his boss in a large office, subject to a mostly expository meeting with necessary backstory. Christovam is Black, indigenous, and from the poor, rural northern half of Brazil where the factory used to operate. When the factory was sold to Austrians who moved it south within their own community, Christovam joined them to keep his job, making him an odd man out. His boss informs him that, despite dedication and years of service, they’ll be cutting his pay and any complaints will threaten his pension. It is the first of many humiliations to endure.
It’s through Christovam that director João Paulo Miranda Maria explores Brazil’s tumultuous present and how it stems from a colonialist past. Outside of work, Christovam finds nothing but...

João Paulo Miranda Maria’s debut feature “Memory House” – a nuanced look at systemic racism in modern Brazil – is about to make its third appearance on this year’s festival circuit.
The only Latin American film to be selected for the Cannes Label this year, “Memory House” has also premiered at Toronto and will run in San Sebastian’s New Director’s Line Up later this week.
Miranda Maria uses richly composed scenes and minimal dialogue to tell the story of Cristovam, an indigenous Black man from the rural north of Brazil who migrates to a conservative Austrian community in the south to work at a dairy.
Steeped in imagery from indigenous Brazilian folklore, the film is a study of what happens to an oppressed minority as decades of abuse chip away at his humanity.
