For her carte blanche, Ana Vaz has chosen to bring into dialogue the work of Júlio Bressane, a leading figure of Brazilian Cinema Marginal, and that of Helena Solberg, the only woman filmmaker associated with Cinema Novo, whose career has been shaped by a strong commitment to feminist causes and a spirit of political rebellion against social norms.
