The 33rd International Film Festival started Friday in Sao Paulo with films for every type of viewer. Among the 424 films shown at the Festival, which runs until November 5th, are Das Weisse Band by Michael Haneke, Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock, Ken Loach’s Looking for Eric, Almodovar’s Los Abrazos Rotos and Marco Bellocchio’s Vincere. A retrospective of the works of Theo Angelopoulous will occur during the festival.
For those who go into a tailspin when it comes to choosing what film to watch and when, and have nightmares they are missing a ‘classic’, the Festival’s organization has made available 300 access of all films on the internet after their first exhibition. They may be accessed until the last day of the festival. For more information and the entire schedule of the festival check out www.mostra.org
