From the shores of enchanting Rio to Sao Paulo’s urban hustle and bustle, I was lucky enough to attend Brazil’s 2008 Anima Mundi festival. This is the only festival I know about that starts in one city for a week and then moves to another town for another week of festivities. While this makes it one of the longest festivals, I think most people would want it to last even a little longer.
The amount of screenings at Anima Mundi is impressive. Furthermore, the selection is very varied making for great viewing. When one attends a number of festivals the same films usually get repeated a number of times so that by the end of the year one feels as if they have seen half the films already. Not the case here! The films were varied in their country of origin but also in quality – some being from small workshops and others from the biggest of studios. However, they were all entertaining and interesting. A great selection indeed!
