André Luiz Oliveira

In 1965, a year after the military coup in Brazil, an oasis of freedom opened in the country's capital. The Brasília Film Festival: a landmark of cultural and political resistance. Its story is that of Brazilian cinema itself.

In 1996, filmmaker André Luiz Oliveira started preproduction of Viva o Povo Brasileiro, a film adaptation of the novel by João Ubaldo Ribeiro. Principal photography went on for nine years, but the production was shut down after a series of unfortunate events. This documentary retells that story, repurposing the fictional footage and chronicling the work both in front and behind the scenes.

Meteorango Kid – O Herói Integalático, by André Luiz Oliveira, is a cult movie made in Bahia, awarded at the 1969 Brasília Festival and censored by the dictatorship. Meteorango Kid: alive or dead is a documentary about the film and its effects on the lives of other artists. André Luiz and musician Tuzé de Abreu, in the company of friends from the generation who used to go crazy, guide us in this search and reveal the mysteries of the invention of this iconic character of countercultural youth.

The documentary addresses the project, which took 30 years to complete, about the recording of 44 songs created for each poem in Mensagem, one of Fernando Pessoa's most emblematic books.
